Hi Matt,

the MacMini is actually working quite OK, though most plugins and DAW still runs best in Rosetta 2 mode - which is Intel CPU emulation by the M1 CPU.

The price at time of purchase (almost 1 year ago) was half the price for M1 compared to the Intel Based MacMinis left on the market, so it was more or less a no-brainer to replace my 9 year old MacBook Pro.

Apart from compatibility issues with software written mainly for Intel and AMD - I must say that the M1 CPU has been a solid and stable work horse - and the very mest...no cooling fans to deal with.

I'm quite satisfied


MacMini M1 - BIAB2021 - Logic Pro X - iZotope Music Production Suite - Scaler 2 - far too many Waves plugins and Line 6 Guitars and boards + a fantastic Yamaha THR10ll mini Amp - Avid MBOX Studio
