Anyone ordering the Mac Mini with Apple’s A12Z?

Is the $500 gone after the one year lease?

Thought about it then passed.
Also you have to apply for it and state what current App are you wanting to test on the new hardware and why.

You are getting the box as a lease but you are really paying for the Developer program.

Here is the page with the details.

macOS 15 - Apple Developer

Learn about the cutting-edge new features of macOS that you can use to build powerful apps and compelling games.

I thought about it as well but it really is developer-oriented. Going to come with the first ARM beta of Big Sur and almost nothing will work on it, like Word or anything else you might use, and it will probably finally be useful and have apps available about the time you have to return it.

Macs with ARM going to come by end of the year so I guess most of their native apps like Final Cut Pro, etc will be ready by then.

My guess is you'll see the first ARM Mac come out around the time that Big Sur is released.

I notice it has no Thunderbolt ports listed either...

Just hope they can have some discount on the new Macs for those on this leasing programme.
