This is the least expensive computer I've ever owned, but it's also the most powerful. Check out my long term review here:    • The Cheapest M1 Mac Mini 9 Months Lat...  

Despite it's name, the M1 Mac Mini has made a massive impact on my video/streaming/podcasting workflow.

With this video I wanted to throw everything I have at the Mini: I simultaneously edited/exported 4K footage in Final Cut Pro, recorded in Ecamm Live, ran a Zoom meeting (which was also recording), used QuickTime for screen recording, worked in Photoshop, edited audio in Audition, and had 14 tabs open in Chrome and Safari.

If you have the money to upgrade RAM/storage, I don't think you'll regret it, but this video proves that the base model is insanely great.
