Some people have those at work, but I'd have to learn Mac. Great hardware, and I know Linux ok, but I think stick with what you know. Looks like a great system though :)

If you can use Windows and Linux you will find MacOS easy. You would transition in no time.

Yup I was a 100% windows user and I found the transition super super easy.

Very happy with mine - with 16gB ram, but only 256 ssd. Plugged in a 1tb ssd I already had.

I bought refurbished and saved a bit….

I did have a look at refurbished but they were all intel.

I would not have thought they would have had the M1's as a refurb option so soon ??

Yep, and the laptops.......

common sense is not very common

I bought one of the original Intel based Mac Minis back in 2007. I've been using MacBook Pros consistently since 2009, but I still have fond memories of the Mini.

Enjoy the mini. We did the same but only the base model M1 version earlier this year. It runs dual 4k monitors and has been a silent and stable workhorse. Wish I got the 16gb RAM as I now use it as my main machine. I mounted it vertically behind my desk out the way (using a stand designed for Mac Mini) which is another option.

At just like that it turns up at my door. Was not expecting it until the new year.

DHL is bloody amazing and so is the Mac Mini, Initial setup and mucking around gives rise to holy sh*t this is fast and dead silent.
