M1 can trade in. i just did that

Yes, if they can up to 512GB as base even better..
My current usage still left 100GB with 1 DOTA 2 installed

add-on 2TB nvme and change app to run on nvme. no problem run since 8 month ago

is 16GB ram enough or upgrade at least 24GB
my 10 years 2015 MBP 8GB ram, I wish i had 16GB

is M5 Mac Mini soon release 2026? i doubt also bcos M4 recently year just launched

Raise the base selling price to 2.6k many still will pay for it.
No, dota2 support in mac os platform...so direct install in macos and play.

For Mac mini M1, 16GB is nice and comfortable. Very happy that I went with this in 2021. My MacBook Air M4, I went with 32GB mainly because I want to try some larger local AI models. My kid's Air M4 is 16GB. I think 16GB is enough for normal use.

Storage for my mini M1 is 256GB only. Data on an ext 2TB Thunderbolt SSD. I will go with internal 512GB next round. My 2025 Airs are all 512GB.

Mac mini M5 probably next year I guess. Maybe get it in July with Back to School offer. If opportunity arises, I wouldn't mind a heavily discounted Mac mini M4 this year.

Since Apple migrated from Intel to M series chips, there is no longer any bootcamp on Macs...
