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.

Actually the new ipad air is already damn powerful. Just get a keyboard and mouse enough.

Am seriously wondering if the item will arrive this year considering the 12.12 sale will jam the logistics

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... unsure.gif
*
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... brows.gif 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...
*
please tell me what will you be doing on your MBA that will hit 100% CPU usage ???

I’m thinking of getting this M1 mac mini... basically to replace my aging 2012 27” iMac...

I’m also thinking of getting 27 or 32 inch monitor... what monitor is suitable for mac mini?  Never go this route before... is it make sense to get 144Hz monitor?
*
Why not ? i i will be pairing with this 34" model




QUOTE(MaxLaw @ Dec 18 2020, 10:41 PM)
They only updated 3 days before the estimated date? Mine is 28 Dec... Guess I'll have to wait until next week  sweat.gif

Mine is Dec 23rd as i ordered on the launch day.
