Over the years, I've managed to sell and hold various tech stuff. Now I'm coming to realize I have too much. It not only causes me to think about how I'm not making use of some stuff, but its taking space in my home. I use my things for casual use, AAA gaming like battlefield 5, call of duty, fortnite, mostly FPS games. I'm looking into getting a M1 Mac mini but I wanted to know what your thoughts were, ultimately I'm leaning more toward it. I'm only going to list gaming/PC/computer stuff. The most graphic intensive non-gaming thing I'll be doing is Final Cut Pro X as a noob. I'll be downloading Adobe Lightroom, photoshop, etc subscription later. I'm getting my iPhone 12 Pro max 512 gb next week. I decided that on my side hobby in times of this pandemic, I'll do a photo/video hobby for my family photos and family/baby videos for ourselves and to show to my son when he gets older. Not really interested in getting a DSLR camera at this time tho...
My Mac stuff:
1. Recently bought 3 weeks ago, a refurbished MacBook Pro 16" (2019) from apple, with 16gb RAM, 5600M, 1TB. This thing is a beast for my needs.
2. late 2013 iMac I got in 2013, 1TB, quad core, not supported by Big Sur now. Used it for college/research/study. Gonna get rid of this one soon hopefully if someone buys it locally.
3. 2009 MacBook Pro, no too sure what I'll do with this one, unsure what its worth or maybe I'll just keep it as a antique lol.
4. 2020 iPad Pro 12", 512 gb, use it for work and daily light use. Very useful.
5. 2018 iPad Pro 11", use it for road trips for my son in the car on the head rest.
PC/Windows stuff:
1. 2019 Razer blade 15" with 2080 Max-q, 512gb SSD, 16gb RAM.
2. Custom built PC for gaming, 4TB SSD, 16gb RAM, NZXT ATX case, Asus Crosshair Vii hero motherboard, 1000 platinum EVGA PSU, Radeon 5700 XT anniversary edition.
3. Graphics cards lying around: Radeon 7 (bought for mining, but decided against mining because of it not being worth the electric costs), RTX 2080 Asus Strix (got as a gift), Sapphire Vega 64 blower (bought years ago for small gaming PC).
4. Razer Core Chroma X with Sapphire Vega 64 currently in there, using it to charge my 16" MBP and also play around with the GPU during Final Cut Pro X use.
5. 2018 Asus Zypherus S gaming laptop with Nvidia 1070 GPU.
6. Xbox Series X (new one that just came out).
What do you guys think about, aside from getting rid of my iMac, to get rid of my custom built gaming PC, Asus Strix 1070 laptop, for a new M1 Mac mini? I can easily give my laptop to my wife, but she has a custom built ATX tower PC since she's not a Mac fan but she loves her iPhone. She has a Radeon 7 in her tower PC but she isn't a hardcore user.
I may want to keep my Razer Laptop to use windows products unless I can use my CaC reader to access online outlook email with my Mac? If I can access most government stuff on my Mac, then I'll get rid of my PC stuff and rely on gaming with my xbox series x. I don't game when I'm traveling since I won't have time to do so.
