It’s been widely reported that M1 Macs excessively write data to the solid-state drives on the computers, which in turn can shorten the lifespan of the drive. SSD IssuesĪnother issue that could plague M1 Mac users in the future is the SSD write issue. While standard video editing is probably fine, high end work, such as 360 footage, might be difficult to work with without the extra performance boost. More than that, there is no external GPU (eGPU) support for M1 Macs. Undoubtedly this is something Apple will be looking to fix in future iterations Two ports isn’t enough and it would be nice to live the dongle-free life. In the case of the Mac Mini, it’s down two Thunderbolt ports, and the same is the case for the MacBook Air and Pro. He also discusses some of the limitations of the M1 chipset, namely the number of ports it’s able to support. No surprise, but even then, when he talked about 4K video and such with the computer, he added the qualifier, “within reason.” “But if you plan on doing work that’s heavy in nature – which is definitely how I use my Macs - then I recommend that you opt for the 16GB upgrade.” “If you just plan on using it to browse the web and do spreadsheets and word processing, the base model is definitely up to the task it’s a good everyday computer for basic things,” Benjamin wrote. He got the base model with 8 GB of memory and his comments were middling at best.
Jeff Benjamin at 9to5 Mac did just that (minus the trash bin) and gave an honest, real world look at the mightier Mini.
Performanceįrom what I read and saw at launch, it seemed like I should just chuck all my other Macs (including my 2019 MacBook Pro) into a trash bin and get an M1 Mac Mini. But while initial reports seemed to be glowing, and the Rosetta 2 translation of Intel-based apps seemed to work well for initial testers, some longer-term tests have revealed that while the lineup is solid, there are definitely some first generation kinks to work out.
