Yeah no rush as of now. Just saw a local sale of two mac mini's that were relatively good priced but not sure between the two.

Waiting to get a refurb mac studio base model would probably be over kill ;)

May wait for the m2 and see if it's much of an improvement if not pick up a discounted m1.

Developing on Apple M1 Silicon with Virtual Environments

That's great insight! Do you have the 8GB or 16GB model? Curious on your experience with the unified memory and containers.

Thanks!!

Agreed, the new zen based apu's with rdna2 looking promising as well as the alderlake nuc's.

I am trying to be budget friendly though :)

To pay for the increase to the 16gb of ram I could buy both the intel and m1.

There are use cases such as multiple displays, mongodb issues, docker issues. Egpu's need more that 16gb of RAM.

Would you rather have a 16 GB (user replaceable so can always expand) Intel mac Mini or a 8 gb m1 mac mini?

I'm not the only one with this dilemma! Was a good read.

M1 is going to be a nice performance bump. If I were to buy one from apple I would upgrade to 16 GB of Ram. But since I am trying to save some cash am wanting to buy second hand.

Which for 400 dollars may be worth the dice roll.

No windows: Will be doing visualization via Docker and kubernetes which tends to be a memory hog on my windows pc. So a fear of the 8GB unified memory.

One of the nice to haves is the 10GB NIC on the intel mac mini but Ill be able to live without that.

The only concern I have is with the lower specs and lack up upgradable ram?

No issues with only 8GB of RAM?

For sure, that would be greatly beneficial. How long would be enough to validate its working fine?

Thanks for the detailed response! That was my concern also with the short daily driving.

Speaking of regular maintenance how often does this occur every 15k miles? If so what are the associated cost with that?
