So when I heard that Apple will ditch Intel (thermal throttling is clearly their fault) I thought let's buy and try it. I got the macMini M1 and just upgraded the RAM from 8 to 16gigs. Bought it via notebooksbilliger.de - was a lot cheaper. Price was 840€.
It's absolutely dead silent, performance is good and everyday new plugin manufactures update their software and you get native support. The price and value of the system is outstanding in the class. If you can wait, wait for the upcuming m1x architecture. It will be way faster and until then almost all plugins will be updated.
