QUOTE(hyperyouth_firepower @ Dec 3 2020, 09:19 AM) Hmm. I guess for iPad users who want a Mac, the mac mini m1 is the best "entry point" without breaking the bank. Unless you ditch the iPad, then go for a macbook (air / pro) instead. Already got an iPad 6 and a 15" MBP, but looking for an M1 Mac, couldn't decide whether to go for Mac Mini or MBA to replace my dying MBP... MBA will make my iPad redundant in my mobility, but Mac Mini plug onto a TV means no privacy when doing work at home. Decisions decisions...  |

QUOTE(carpathia @ Dec 13 2020, 12:06 PM) Just buy la.... from the reviews, the MBA is surprisingly powerful...only slows down under crazy heavy load Haha... Very tempted by the Gold MBA...  but cannot crunch 100% CPU without throttling... Was thinking the Mini can BOINC or Folding 24/7 and can plug to TV permanently for entertainment... down side is no screen privacy when wanna work... |
