Dislikes: (A stretch I know) My only gripe is the bluetooth headphones can be shaky. In my experience it happens every week and lasts maybe 10-15 seconds where the audio isn't great. But alot of electronics have his issue
It's the end of 2023 and I recommend this computer to anyone and everyone in the market for a computer. This compact machine does 90% of what the top tier computers can do but for $500. By no means is this a budget device at all. Unless you're doing 3D modeling, video editing with alot of after effects, rendering 4K video, or always working on the go; then this is perfect for everyday use and more. Other computers have come out since 2020 including the M2 Mac Mini and just recently the M3 Macbooks, but I still strongly recommend this device.
My Personal Use
I've had this device since the end of 2020. It has been my daily driver for the last 3 years. My first Mac. I've used this device for building websites, running ads and small businesses along with admin tasks, YouTube, some light gaming, Youtube, Netflix etc. At the highest usage it was about 10-12 hours per day. In 3 years I've had 3 hiccups from having multiple desktops open for coding websites, editing photos in photoshop and affinity photo, multiple spreadsheets and having over a dozen chrome-tabs open which is my normal workflow. 3 times in 3 years. I'm not planning on upgrading anytime soon but if I do, it will be the Mac Mini Pro or Mac Studio solely for the overkill memory and multi terabyte storage options.
ALL YOU NEED IS: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor. But feel free to trick it out.
I have had no issues with this machineAs a Mac user since 1984, this is a difficult review. I have always considered Apple products to be vastly superior to other personal computers on the market and their OS to be unquestionably the best. Well, this Mac mini may change my mind. First of all, if you simply want a computer to browse the internet, send email, etc., it is a speed demon expert at that. If you want other things, like normal dual monitors, external boot drives, etc., then this computer has its issues. Now running OS 11.3, I have no ability to boot from an external Thunderbolt 3 drive. I had that ability with 11.1 but lost it when I upgraded the system. Don't even think about booting from any sort of USB drive. It will NOT work. USB drives of any type (SSD, HD, Thumb) serve as file storage containers... not boot drives. The monitor situation is truly strange. A HDMI and a USB-C monitor will work together but it will not support two HDMI or two USB-C monitors. I finally settled on one HDMI and one VGA (through a USB-C VGA hub). They seem to work well together. I also attempted to use the Luna Display adapter for allowing my iPad Air to be a first or second display. You cannot use the VGA adapter or any type adapter when the Luna adapter is plugged into the USB-C port or the Luna will not work. There are sometimes costs to being early adapters and this seems to be the case with the M1 Mac mini. Though it does read/writes to its custom memory at nearly 3000MBs and loads native software very rapidly, it really just isn't ready for prime time yet for a lot of users. OK, maybe the base mini isn't considered a power user's machine but I'm not asking for things out of the ordinary. My Intel based Macs have no issues with adapters, monitors, SSD drives or anything else. They just work... and one is 12 years old. I admire Apple for their attempt to make a totally secure OS but when it creates huge issues for the end user, it becomes counterproductive. This machine has great potential but has to get over the peripheral hump before it is really a bargain. Maybe the next macOS Big Sur update............
