Do you? What do you like about it?

Was thinking of getting one for music. My laptop is struggling with plugin CPU load. I'll have to get a giant fudge off screen too of course. Ridiculous to the point that people will think I am compensating for something else.

Also my broadband is brick, and I have no cables on my house - no fibre. Has anyone got (spit) starlink? (spit, spit)
(more spit)

Until you get Fibre it's tough. The Mac Mini is good. It will last forever. Super easy to use. Depends what you want to do on if tbh

It's just great bang for your buck.

I decent screen (a really decent one) will add massively to the cost. But depending on what you use the screen for can keep the cost down. Don't forget to start reading the hours and hours of Internet about what screen is 'the best' .

Even the base model appears to deal with most tasks effortlessly. If you want anything but the base model be prepared to wait.

Thanks for the feedback. No fibre on my house yet. They came around a year ago and said it was on the way, but I haven't seen them since. I'm using 5G but it is up and down more often than a kittens knickers.

As for the Mini, I need it to perform well with a DAW audio load. According to the interweb, it works well for that sort of stuff. M4 Mac Mini is what I am looking at.

This is what I am looking forward to. Months and months of contradictory advice from people asking me to subscribe to their YouTube channel.

I have a Mac mini + got the new Studio Display yesterday (it's for work, I'm a web developer who spends 10 hours in front of the screen most days) and it's such a good setup. Ridiculous that the display cost more than double the Mac, but it really is beautiful.
