Man mini shipped early!

[marco114]

My Mac mini was scheduled for Nov 24-27 and it’s been shipped!

I received a text msg from Apple that my ARM Mac Mini was being shipped early as well with a scheduled delivery date of 19 Nov....... I have to correct myself. Per the UPS tracking info from the UPS page my Mac Mini will be delivered 17 Nov as well.

Early shipping here for the ARM Mac Mini, Apple says Nov 19th. Woo hoo!

I am interested to see what people think about it. As I have posted before I am looking at getting one to replace my 10 year old iMac. I really want to hold out for 2nd generation ARM iMac but I am not not sure the current one will last 2 to 3 years.

One of the main things I went to know about is if 8 gb of ram is enough. I think it will be enough for my needs - MS Office, browsers, iTunes and Citrix Workspace.

I am curious if native apps built for M1 will use less memory. I don't know how they would. I am afraid that 16GB is too little, but got one anyway. Always been the early adopter type. I only have 16GB in my MacBook Pro 2015 and it does fine.

I take it these are just the 8GB models being shipped a bit early, not the 16GB?

I think 8GB will be good enough for my needs but I want to see what others say. The 256GB hard drive will be good enough for me. I was surprised how little storage I use on my current computer.

Mine arriving on 17 Nov is a 16GB/256 model as well.

Mine is the 16GB/512, also in the UK so I am sure there will be regional variations on the timing of processing. Not to worry, would be nice to have it next week but I can wait, impatiently
