Our honest take on the Mac Mini M1
First Apple Silicon desktop and still excellent value in 2026 for light desktop use. Same chassis as the old Intel Mac Mini, so service is familiar. RAM and SSD are soldered - what you bought is what you keep. We see very few failures on these - they're built well.
