Same price as it was 6 month ago. Do we expect this to go lower in the coming days?

Right. A dozen of eggs and avocado toast and kombucha would cost that much

Apple also being on the " honor system " does not check if you're actually a student. Just throwing that out there

There is a huge pushback around 8GB being the standard. However, any reliable reviews out there that can tell us with M chips, as a daily user, do we really need more? Put in other words, how far can 8GB truly get us before we see issues…?

My M1 mini supports 4K/60Hz to a 6 year old Dell monitor. If you can't pull 4K/60, check your HDMI cable and check any HDMI splitters/switchers/boxes that are between the Mac and the monitor.

I've had no issues running dozens of tabs in Safari/Edge, as well as having Word documents, Excel sheets, Mail, Photos and a bunch of other stuff running. It has been very smooth and runs dead-silent. I also run some older games like Civilization V without issue.

And I will say frankly I was surprised by how well it runs given the meager specs on paper. I came from a decade-old Intel hackintosh that was overspec'd at the time I built it (16GB ram, SSD boot drive, i7, etc.) and the M1 just does everything so much better.

Of course, if you're doing video editing or rendering all day long, you'll probably want something higher powered than this.

But for the average home user, the base M1 model is really impressive. I was amazed that I can run DrawThings.ai locally and get a 512x512 image in about a minute or two on a $500 piece of hardware.

But this should still be $450 to be on Slickdeals. lol
