„It has vents all over the sides“ and this is the exact problem that I don‘t want in my studio. Vents loud a f. Nothing against a Windows pc but no mini pc can beat my Mac mini M4 Pro at the moment in performance, design and silence. And thunderbolt is awesome, I just say daisy chain. I can connect my second small screen powered by usb-c into my Apollo x6 with just a thunderbolt cable for power and screen. Or my external thunderbolt ssd drive with samples and cubase projects. This is great.

An SD Card slot would have been nice, but with everything else you get for the price, this is a no brainer! I already have a USB SD Card adapter that I used to use with my old apple, so that's not an issue at all.
This is definitely what's been missing for us producer/creators.

Super happy with my Kreative Devices G16 notebook, cant wait to try one of these minis. Highly recommended

How about doing a vid on the next gen of Windows gaming handholds, such as the Legion Go, Asus Rog Ally X & the new MSI Claw 8+?...
( Not many people are covering the use of these as a possible music production alternative to a laptop etc.. )

I prefer a PC cz many plugin's tend to work on PC but not Mac

lol "its a better computer than the Mac mini" lets see its about three hundred dollars more than the Mac mini so yeah, I’d hope so... but still $300 more for a performance number thats honestly negligible isn't worth it in my opinion. but to each their own. either machine seems like a fine purchase.
