Took a Mac mini m4 (used student discount from my neighbor kid)> 49K with base model.Overall, I can live with it for work. It's nice, gets the job done. Easier to work with than Windows since POSIX shell. My personal PC is Fedora+GNOME though. Can't beat that.
And... I was considering an M4 Mac Mini, but with all the recent stuff going on with Asahi Linux, it's not on my book for now. Though, it's really hard to beat that price for that machine, ngl.
It works 100 times fluid then my M2 Air.
