$599 - $100 EDU instant discount - $100 Gift card = $399
My trade in for Mac Mini was $305. So the upgrade was $399 - $305= $94?
Maybe I calculated it wrong now I am thinking about it more.
This was the M2 order. It was total of $200 off from $599 list price right?

I wouldn't do it, and I probably wouldn't do it for $99 either, but I understand the thought process of those who would.

In a brief look I don't see other Plex Mac users complaining of KPs, so I suspect you had a hardware problem. A case with Apple to repair would be a logical next step.
Just how, exactly, did you come to the conclusion any of this had anything to do with RAM?
As you've seen in this thread, people are doing vastly more than a dead simple Plex server on 8GB Mac mini hardware. Sorry you had an issue, but it looks like it was unique to you.

RAM abnormalities have different symptoms not the ones he mentioned.
And yes, they have by far the best support in the business. Please define exactly what support you would get from Hauwei or OnePlus Android phones? "Even" Samsung is a disaster compared to Apple Support. The fact that you can even complain about it by walking into a Genius Bar (which isn't offered via other vendors) is a riot.
Funny right…
Isn't it always the people who shits on apple genius bar but had to take their phone in to get help?
I don't remember the last time I needed to get anyone at GB to help me fix/reset my iPhone…
