- jermaustin1 7mo agoWorse than that, they hold their value, so buying a used M1 mini is still a few hundred bucks, and saving $200-300 by purchasing a 5 generation older mini seems like a bad deal in comparison.
- teaearlgraycold 7mo agoSomeone came to be excited they got a "deal" on the newest Intel Mac Mini for hosting OpenClaw. 8GB model for $300. I kind of regret bursting their bubble by telling them you can walk over to Costco (nearest one at time of discussion was walking distance) and pay $550 for one with an M4 and 16GB of RAM.
- Octoth0rpe 7mo agoUp until a week ago, the base m4 mini (16gb ram/256gb ssd) was $399 at microcenter, now $499. Pretty shocking how good of a value that is IMO.
- teaearlgraycold 7mo agoDamn. Would be awesome to network a bunch over thunderbolt.
- Forgeties79 7mo agoThat’s just somebody not doing their research and overpaying unfortunately
- someperson 7mo agoJust like with GPUs and Bitcoin they'll be a flood of old hardware on the market eventually.
- Forgeties79 7mo agoDepends on what you mean by “eventually”
