So the M1 Mac Mini could make sense for some users over the M2, if they don't do things graphic intensive. The M1 has full speed storage, while the M2 base version storage is half the speed of the M1. They switched to a single chip for the 256GB versus using two 128GB chips. Processor speed is in the 15% range faster. Graphics gets two more cores. $100 savings versus the M2 education or refurb $499 price. Tough call for me but I took the older M1 for the 20% savings. May be the right call for some users, but there is a summary on the $100 difference.

I know some people poopoo Macs for any number of reasons. I got a Mac mini m1 a bit after launch, used it for a year, them sold it and built a gaming desktop. I lost almost no money on resale. It's a slick little package. If you haven't played in the Mac ecosystem for a couple of decades, pick up a Mac mini and take it for a whirl. You might like it, and if you don't, sell it. Chalk it up to a few bucks on an interesting experience.

Can you run any other OS on these? Seems like nice hardware, but not really invested in the apple echo system.
Using virtualization you can ran Windows (ARM) and Linux

Quote from myfiremanishuge :
50%+ of Americans live paycheck to paycheck...guess how many have iphones? Young adults it's over 70% iphones...since when is owning an iPhone a sign of affluence LMAO?

iphone se is like $399 that's 1 or two days of work lol

android is superior for ad blocking if you love giving apple ad money go ahead cukold

and no, I do have apple products. probably more than you lol
Is there an implication the vast majority of people live paycheck to paycheck because they have iPhone? That's absurd.

People live paycheck to paycheck because they are underpaid and they also have not been educated on how to properly budget.

Look at the facts. Most companies that are contributing to inflation are seeing increasing margins and have made statements that it will continue. Let's support workers that pay taxes and contribute to the economy vs companies that dodge taxes and/or buy political favors.


FWIW
A person's car is the number 1 area where they overspend and leads to financial hardship, not a phone or a computer.

They're a big reseller that usually caters to business purchasers. As in individual, I have bought a bunch of PC accessories. Fast shipping, no issues.

buy and return if needed. The new macs would be at least $499 which was the best deal for starter Mac Mini. I think could wishfull thinking on the brand new mac mini though. 15" AIR is supposed to be Star but rumors of new models for MacPro/Studio showed up in code.
