The m2/24GB/1TB is super speedy for me
Mines arrived but I have to really wait until Friday to set it up and use it as I’m away from home until then 
Edit: I quickly set it up for an hour or so. This thing is ridiculously fast! Safari scrolling is a bit rough though and the back/forwards buttons on my mouse don't do anything annoyingly.

I ultimately returned it as Windows works better for my job. Doesn't mean I haven't been day dreaming about a full switch back to MacIs this due in MM soon?
Office suite runs better, especially outlook. Can't even open an .msg on MacOS even if you have Outlook installed. Some clients share emails attached to our ticketing tool.
I also find macos a bit slower in terms of managing windows, alt tabbing, mouse pointer accuracy and zipping about the OS. It's a little hard to put my finger on 1 thing exactly but if I used a car analogy, macos would be a comfortable cruiser and windows a sports car.
What do you use your mini for? I don’t need one but I’m tempted to get one for fun

For that reason, just for fun
Play a few games and browse the internet.

Might get a mini as a work from home tool as a lot of my work applications have gone online now.
Yep, I have an Macbook Air too. I only have them to play around with MacOS, my main driver is still my gaming PC.
