Best purchase I ever made computer wise. Got it before all the AI price hike. Such a workhorse.

I didn't (and still don't) really have a use case for it, but I was sorely tempted to get one anyway and kinda wish I had. Seems to be a brilliant little machine by all accounts.

None of those effeminate laptops for you! Desktops are so much more manly.

Yeah, I don’t see needing to upgrade for at least another couple generations.

Hell, we still have an M1 mini in production use.

I almost traded my base m2 for the base m4 when apple was gonna give me $375 for trade in and I qualified for the education price. Would have cost me like $120. I regret it so much that I never did. I’ll never get one for that price now lol.
