I’ve owned an M1 Mac Mini (16 gb of RAM, 500 gb SSD) since early December (replacing a previous Mac Mini with 16 gb RAM which had worked well for seven or eight years). Everything I’ve read about the speed of the M1s has been confirmed in practice; I hope that remains true, at least for a few years, as developers make applications more sophisticated in order to exploit this attribute.

I have not (touch wood) suffered any of the Bluetooth, wi-fi or screen issues that I’ve also read about. I have not heard the fan once. I hope that the SSD re-writes have been reported wrong, or don’t apply when you have 16 gb of RAM, or are correctable by an Apple Big Sur update. So far, I’m very pleased with this machine.
