I am a I.T. professional and purchased this Mac mini about two months ago and am impressed. It boots up in about 10 seconds which was surprising to be honest. I have it connected to two 27 inch displays (Samsung) and all work great together. I had the old Mac mini from 2012 and it got too slow but still works great is why I purchased this one, loving the new M1 chip, really can tell a huge difference.I work with Macs and windows, Macs have a much longer life span (5 yrs or more) whereas windows about 3 to 5 yrs. My 2012 Mac still works fine after a RAM upgrade ($20) and its 9 years old.
