If you are interested in Mac Mini, I believe you are not using it as your main productivity machine? If you have requirements for performance, you should choose other ones such as MacBook Pro, Studio. If you just want experience MacOS. 2079 is worth of it and the SSD doesn't affect you much.

nah, just casual use

Made in Malaysia is not a disadvantage. I don't think our manufacturing quality is an issue.

Recommendation is to go for the 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD model, unless you are just doing basic web/email/office stuff.
That is the config that I'm planning on getting.

512 GB SSD has better performance than the 256 GB model. 16 GB RAM allows for some graphics work as well as ability to drive 2 4K monitors with enough RAM to run other programs comfortably. If you're looking at video editing, then the M2 Pro is probably better suited?

I plan to get 256/16 as many people said ram cannot upgrade but storage just add external ssd
