Mac mini m1 vs Mac Studio

[EugW]

The rumors about WWDC are strong enough now that I'm tempted to just wait it out and if nothing comes out at WWDC then I'll just order. I know the M2 probably won't be that much more powerful but I'm hoping that maybe it's more than just a spec bump. Maybe they will add back in the SD card or add some more usb-c or usb-a ports to it. What I have right now Mac mini 2011 is kinda slow at times but it gets the job done for now. I can keep using it for another 2 months if needed.

I'd be pleasantly surprised to see it at WWDC but who knows... However, it's likely gonna be sooner rather than later, so it would p!ss me off too much if there was a significant change (aside from M2) from the M1 model that I just bought 3-4 months earlier.

I think there is a decent chance the new Mac mini will be out by fall. At that point, the M1 Mac mini would be two years old.

I bought a 16/512 m1 Mini six months after they were introduced. I had a late 2015 iMac with 24GB memory and I was worried about the lesser amount available on the m1. I waited for the m1 iMac announcement, hoping for a 27"; when the new iMac turned out to be 24" and port-starved, I pulled the trigger for the 16/512 and an LG 5K Ultrafine.

I was persuaded by all the reports that the m1's Unified Memory was doing a great job, and now a year later I have yet to encounter any out-of-memory messages. Mostly I use only MS Office and Adobe Creative Suite apps for print and web page production. I was sorta thinking about the base-model Studio because of some performance issues with Premiere Pro--it was only about 10% faster than my iMac--but then a Premiere update enabled hardware encoding and I fell in love with the m1 Mini all over again.

Three monitors, using a DisplayLink dongle for one of them, and I'm rendering a video and working in Photoshop and windows open in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, and watching the Pirates at Cubs on MLB.com.

Can You show us with pictures, your multiple display link and 3 monitors for a Mac mini m1. Thank You.

Thank You, I always thought you were tied to only 2 monitors with the Mac mini. Nice Setup.
