> Just yesterday I started using a new maxed out Mac mini and everything about it is snappy.
Really?! I didn't think anyone here would fall for that.
Mac Mini 12-core M2, 19-core GPU, 32GB, 10Gbit, 8TB storage? $4500
Mac Studio 20-core M1, 48-core GPU, 64GB, 10Gbit, 1TB storage is $4000. 128GB of RAM is $800 more
but either Studio RAM configuration obviously spanks the M2 mini. It's sacrificing Apple's expensive storage, but with Thunderbolt 3 it's pretty academic to find 8TB or more of NVMe storage, probably 32GB of NVMe RAID[1], for less than Apple's charge of $2200 above cost of 1TB.
