- adrian_b 3y agoMac Minis are nice, but they do not compete in performance per dollar with the computers using AMD, Intel or cheaper ARM CPUs. They also do not compete in dimensions for the applications where a small computer is desired, e.g. for being easy to carry. I consider 16 GB of DRAM as the right amount of memory for a computer with the price between $100 and $400. For a computer whose price is $1000 or more, I consider mandatory 64 GB DRAM and at least one 2 TB SSD. The amounts of memory provided in a Mac Mini of reasonable price are pathetic.
- fmajid 3y agoDon’t forget to factor the power brick when assessing portability. Totally agree on the puny RAM.
