I was more referring to the intro paragraphs: > What you describe is not a Mac Mini with some OS or HW bug, it's a broken one. Don't know what your issue is, if it is hardware, or it was pwned, or has 2-3 incompatible Rosetta apps wrecking havoc. But I'd get it replaced. > None of these things happen to people, much less altogether. > The experience of everybody who bought an M1 is everything (or almost) running far snappier. Especially since there are reports of the same thing as described happening qll over the comments here. I did not give due credit to the rest of the comment, it was quite well written. I apologize for that coldtea.
