Unless you really need a Mac, I'd go with the above. Much better machine for almost the same price. You can the same specs from other manufacturers for even less, but Minisforum is a well known brand in the mini PC scene.

Edit: As another user kindly pointed out, the Minisforum PC I listed above is just $506 with coupon now. absolutely insane deal for so much power in such a small package.

I plan to host my own cloud storage, home assistant core etc therefore it will be running 24x7.
Does anyone trust this for such a purpose?
poor people and aimed at Land Fill
these should not be produced; many don't understand that these are soldered in ram/SSD et al so no upgrades. even the windows world has resorted to this non sense on the Low End. attaching 'Cool' to this kind Landfill doesn't change what it is.
quite a few articles on this horrible practice, buying this Land Fill just encourages them....

Soldered Parts Are Horrible for Users and the Environment
And we shouldn't encourage the practice any more.
Soldering components is bad for the environment
Whenever Apple — or any other company that does this — claims to be a good steward of the environment, I chuckle. Not because I don't believe that they believe they are, but because their actions and their words don't always align. And to be clear, I'm not speaking here only of Apple but also of Dell, Lenovo, Asus, and every other manufacturer that sees fit to solder components that should be user-serviceable.
1 — Devices with soldered components that should have been made to be fixable, are thrown away instead.
I'm someone who likes to keep technology around until it fails. As a matter of fact, I have a couple of machines that are, in computer years, ancient. But they're still kicking. Sure, some parts have been replaced along the way, but the machines themselves? They've avoided the landfill so far.
If all RAM, storage and other important parts were soldered in, I'd likely have had to get rid of those machines long ago.
