M1 8GB RAM Experiences with Xcode and JetBrains IDEs

With the 16GB RAM build to order Mac Minis being almost 4 weeks out, and my usual reluctance to jump on the first rev of any new hardware, I decided to compromise and pick up the base M1 8GB/256 Mini.

I decided to continue using my 2018 Mac Mini with 32GB RAM and eGPU as my primary machine, while getting the M1 Mini to play with and use for testing.

Once they release the more powerful Apple Silicon Macs, I will either sell this M1 or just keep it for other duties, and then take the plunge to get exactly what I want.

The introduction of the M1 is so exciting, I didn't want to miss out entirely on this experience.

I've ended to a point where I can't have multiple computers. I once had my workstation as primary. Then had my MBP. I ended using my MBP all the time (because macOS is so much better than anything else in this world).

You inevitably use one computer more than all the others.

But if you can afford having multiple computers for doing the exact same ... 😉😂

I'm embarrassed to say how many I actually juggle - hint: I don't exactly hate Windows either haha.
