Interesting, I was always in Mac mini camp.

I'd be cool to do a comparison new Lenovo mini vs used M1 Mac mini - should be the same price.

I imagine it comes down to if you want macos or not. Seems like a niche choice when comparing to something like the pi.

When I switched from Intel Mac to the M2, I was easily able to get my Linus and windows VMs running again.

As well as my intel apps. Was pretty smooth and the speed and power efficiency gains are obvious. My mac book air draws about 5w total while the DAW is cool as a cucumber.
