Hi, im interested in Mac Mini M1 16gb 256gb ssd configuration. Right now im still confuse whether to go for this or custom pc (ryzen 3600, 1660 super, 512gb ssd, 16gb ram) as the price is roughly the same. In terms of performance, which one will give better performance ? (Handle multitasking, light video editing, some productivity works). How bout life span? Do Mac pc last longer than windows pc in terms of software support?

i take this for example,
M1 imac with 8core gpu,16gb ram, 256gb ssd= rm7249
mac mini m1 with 16gb ram, 256gb ssd= rm3799

2k monitor and keyboard with mouse, = rm1300 (roughly). Total price for mac mini with accessories only around 5.1k. Thats the main reason i went for mac mini at first place. To have that extra saving. If i were to have higher budget, imac would be the best choice lorr.

I'm using a Viewsonic 32" (31.5") 2K monitor. Got it for RM1015 from Shopee. If you take into account the 10% coins, it's RM913.50. So far quite happy with it.
