Yeah, Apple Silicon does seem to score well on various benchmarks, but how practical are they really? In some use cases, not much. If you game, you better make sure your games  are built to natively run on Apple Silicon, otherwise, you will be disappointed. Rosetta 2 emulation is not as good as Apple makes it out to be… that goes for most intensive software in general too. I was very disappointed when I tried to test out the new chipset’s graphical capabilities.Also, virtualization is not where it needs to be yet. As of this writing, you can’t officially virtualize macOS and other OSes on Apple Silicon. Maybe in the next year or so, this Mac Mini will be more useful, but for now, my Intel Mac Mini is good enough and in some ways, more functional. If you need a desktop device that runs macOS for basic functionality, this is great. Be careful if you have some more taxing and/or specialized use cases, or you may come out very disappointed as I did.
