I have 6 M1 Mac Mini’s and a couple of the 13” MacBook pros. Everything is ok but not great or at least doesn’t live up to the billing. For the cost the mini’s are absolutely worth it but the laptops are not. I don’t have a lot of hands on with the laptops but they work just fine just hard to justify the price. We mainly use the minis for conforming and editing HD to 8K video.

I have a couple i7 minis as well and I don’t really see any performance differences to the M1. On my desk I bounce between a M1 mini, i7 mini and a win 11 i7 laptop and the laptop more than holds its own.

Boss has a fully decked out i9 16” MacBook Pro but at $6 or $7K it’s crazy. I am hoping to inherit that when he takes one of the new Max ones. We plan on running some comparisons when it arrives.
