I've had my M1 Mac mini for almost a year. My thoughts are this, its plenty fast for most users. But speed alone does not make a good Mac. Honestly, it lacks ports, the internal speaker seems like an after thought and is absolutely terrible for an Apple product. I have also had my share of saggy issues with external monitor, Bluetooth and WiFi. If I had to buy it again, I think I would pass. If you have to add speakers don't buy ones USB powered because then you're down to one available USB A port. This frankly is embarrassing for an Apple desktop Mac. Be nice, if it had a front access USB A and a C port. Of course you would have spend even more money to get some sort of adaptor to get some more ports.
