I'll stick with the 2012 version - amazing workhorse with all the ports needed. This needs SD card slot and many USBs to be interesting. Envy of the processor though :/

                        Surprised, yes. Sending my newest mac mini core i7 back to apple for a full refund, and i already ordered a top specced M1 mini. The M1 macbook Pro can wait till january, hoping there will be a 4TB storage option by then. I already got an ipad pro with magickeyboard cover for professional portable use but not using it as much as the macbook pro, its still too much ipad and not enough mac.

                              Infact stability and performance improves as there are few things running in the background, few spying tools by Windows.
