It easily earns our Editors' Choice nod.ĭesign: A Familiar Face, an Amped-Up Core Apple’s own highly integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC), the M1 brings the Mac mini to new performance highs, and while a few fundamentals have changed, the peppy performance, the reasonable mix of connectivity, and a new lower $699 starting price combine to make it one of the best values in compact computers, period. The real update of this iconic little desktop is this one, and it's a big-band extravaganza. A slight variation on the same sheet music, played with little fanfare earlier this year, pumped up the two base models’ SSD capacity.
