Something to look forward to: The Mac mini has long been a good entry-level Mac for people who wanted a compact desktop computer that runs macOS. Apple introduced an M1 model last year as part of the transition to Apple Silicon, but a more powerful M1X-based model with plenty of ports may be coming later this year. When Apple announced its first M1-powered Macs last year, the company effectively started its breakup with Intel, leaving the latter understandably bitter about losing one of its big customers in the consumer space. The reasons, however, are perfectly understandable — M1 Macs have comparable or better performance to that of Intel-based Macs while being more energy-efficient, they don’t easily overheat, and Apple saves billions in the process.
