No.
Neither am I, my Mid 2010 C2D Mac mini still does everything I need it to

Likewise, my 2018 is still going strong plus need x86/64 and don't feel like having multiple systems (for the time being).
Surprised they didn't save it until the next event though.

From what I can tell, it's a £200 increase to go from a 256GB SSD to 512GB, unless I'm missing something?
My base spec M1 Mini has been running as a Plex Server 24/7 (with a 4TB SSD attached via USB-C) since the day I got it back in May 2021. In that time it hasn't missed a beat and has been really reliable. I also use it for working from home as it's so power efficient and silent.
Only real issue has been the 8GB of RAM as sometimes it hasn't been enough, so placed an order for a base spec M2 with 16GB.

I'm surprised they've only included the M2 Pro on the Mac Mini and not allowed the M2 Max too. I guess that is going to be reserved for the Studio.
I have no need for this, I would have liked a redesign, it feels like it's been forever for the Mac Mini.

Anyone got the edu price for m2/24GB/512gb?
I'd never want to steal your thunder.

Are you rejoining the fold?
It's the machine I was holding out for but I am not sure. Office is pretty meh on macOS.

They do work fine. My main issue is I have to zoom to 130% everytime I open a file to get to the same size as 100% on Windows. The fonts also look off on macOS, clearly designed for Windows font rendering.
