I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2018, I think) that I had been using as my “main” computer (with a separate monitor, Apple wireless keyboard, mouse, touch pad and external disks, etc.). It was (and is) great for my use (I don’t edit videos, etc.) but to use it somewhere else inside or outside the house, I have to unplug it, put it in its case, etc. etc. and then put it back together latter.
I needed a desktop computer! I checked the Mac mini specs. It was all I needed (and then some) and even had the new M1 processor chip and 512 GB SSD “disk”! This looked great and since I had all the peripherals, it looked like a whole computer at a very nice price. It is. I love it. It is small, sits out of the way, makes no noise, and just works. I only remember where it is when I have to push its little button to start it. Wish I could remote that! It has more I/O ports (including USB A 3.0!) than the MacBook Pro. Super value for the money, I think. Love that M1 CPU chip. Apple, let's have some more of that!

Super fast, easy to set up, love it🙏🏾
This mac is super snappy fast, quiet and reliable. Beware though, musicians, some plug ins won't work with it, but there is a work around until other companies catch up.
