Mac M1 mini, best bang for the buck as far as processor. We have two of them
Mine is about 2 years old with the i5 intel,
Just got my wife the new mini with m1 chip for Christmas because we were so impressed with mine. Plus the seamless integration with our iPhones and MacBook Air.
Anyway as far as I’m concerned it can’t be beat, both models of the base models. The new base M1 model is actually a bit less expensive with the most powerful processor on the market anywhere near its price range from any manufacturer.
I only paid 569 at Costco around Christmas time 2021. I think it’s 659 or about that at Costco now and 699 on Apple’s website.
It will be everything you need and more, carefree, amazing only one and a half inches tall, completely noise free and energy efficient with no heat at all.
Best of all the Apple operating system is constantly updated and your computer won’t turn obsolete for a very long time.
Supercharged by the M2 or M2 Pro chip, Mac mini has a wide array of ports and Wi-Fi 6E for a phenomenal desktop experience.
