I had the 8GB M1 Mac Mini variant for a few months before some issues started arising. In the time leading up to some of these issues, the computer otherwise worked perfectly fine, albeit the performance did feel somewhat slow compared to some iMacs I've owned in the past. This is probably just attributed to more updates being needed on Apple's in-house ARM processor, but even so, the performance difference (to me anyway) was wide enough to make me want to go back to an i7 Mac.As for the issue I experienced, it had everything to do with Apple's onboard wifi 6 module. Eventually, it just stopped connecting to my router. The router was not the issue. Every other device connected to it fine and I never had any prior issues with my Asus wifi 6 router to begin with. I researched a ton and found that this is seemingly a common issue on some Macs. I tried every suggested method to solve it, and everything Apple suggested as well to no avail before they deemed it a hardware failure.I've given the product three stars because prior to this, it worked perfectly fine, again, albeit the performance could be better for what this machine is touted as, and these things happen. Hardware failures happen with any electronic product, but hopefully it won't happen with yours. Just be aware of these issues that can possibly be present.Amazon, though, did great by me, and offered a refund despite being out of the return period and was still willing to help with this issue, which would have otherwise left me with a paperweight and out of hundreds of dollars for this.
