Yep. The Mac Mini gives you more performance for your dollar, and opens up a world of peripheral choices, like a TV monitor or a mechanical keyboard.
But TBH the M1 and M2 family seem like a waste for programming workloads since they are so GPU heavy. Their niche is power efficient media manipulation.
- brundolf 4y agoThey made a huge difference in my programming workloads. The Max chip vs the Pro is mainly about GPU, but apple silicon is about everything
- brucethemoose2 4y agoYeah its an unbeatable laptop CPU, don't get me wrong, but its still not going to outrun a wide desktop/hedt cpu.
- GianFabien 4y agoI have been considering the Mac mini for DL/ML/AI work - seems Apple Neural Engine could be a good choice. But then again I'm not so sure.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoIt is good... but still not as fast as even a laptop 3060. You are kinda stuck with Nvidia unless AI on battery is an absolute top priority.
- warrenm 4y agoI run my tv as an external monitor from my M1 MBP via AirPlay Rarely notice any issues doing so
