How good is the M1 Mac Mini in 2022?

Even in 2022 the M1 Mac Mini is still the best computer in its price range.

Capable of 4K video editing, as well as being a productivity beast, it’s the desktop Mac that most people should pick up.

Paired with an iPad, Universal Control has given the Mac mini a huge buff to its cross-device capabilities and it’s still a joy to work on!

Now it's end of 2023 - I'm watching this on my main Computer for Work (Audio, Video and Photo Editing)...and yeah, it's still the M1 Mac mini! Incredible Machine! :D

Forget the Mac Mini, tell us more about that keyboard of yours.

[TheEricBooth]

I am loving mine. This was my first ever Mac and I have no regrets doing the switch.

[drmrmcmister]

I actually think it's a Mac worth considering. Picture this: you already have a good monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. You also already own a Windows computer but want something a bit more simple alongside it. This is how I use it!

[GavinDurbin]

I use one and absolutely love it. The only complaint I have about it is sometimes there are things in macOS itself that I dont like. But for as small as it is and only pulling about 6-7 watts on average its crazy how much performance it has.

[DevilBananaYT]

I still use it and it hasn’t disappointed

[Justagamerl]

Mac is back, and it's honestly shocking. If I was a responsible, professional adult it would be a no brainer purchase now.

[Conzales]

Got one with 16GB memory. Still a beast indeed. Max power needs less than 30 Watts.

Buy a mac mini for $600
Buy an apple stand for $1000
Nice setup

[tdmbros]

for the price of a Mac Mini you could get Apple Wheels, only compatible with Mac Pro

[kbhasi]

Yep! The iPad Sidecar bit reminds me of when I visited a public library, and on one of the desks, I saw someone using their Mac mini just like that, though I think they were using Duet Display.

I bought an imac, rendering it useless to buy an mac mini, i like mi imac, the blue color is great, i love it

[brickedid]

Very satisfied with my Mac Mini M2 Pro!!

[SnotRockets]

I'm buying one this week - nice to see it's not dumb to buy an M1 Mac in 2023!

[Warp]

I'm a windows guy, but the Mac Mini might be one of the apple desktops I like. Mostly because of what it can do for the size!

[chrpap]

dude it does exactly what it did in 2020. there are no major and more demanding updates in all widely used applications in order to need an upgrade.

[DylanRush-wp]

I am using the M2 and it is crazy good!

[ziggyziggyz]

M1 /8Gb still very fast and strong. Lr, Ps, RAW files from Hasselblad medium format 50mpix. Smooth work.

[FastRedPonyCar]

I have an M1 mini with 16g ram at the office and an M1 Max MBP at the house. I can't tell the difference until I go to render with Davinci but even then, the M1 Mini is no slouch and at 1/3 the price.

[googlespynetwork]

I got one because I got tired of waiting for the M2. No regrets, but now need to get an M2 pro.
