$799.00 USD gets you the Mac mini with the same (maybe faster?) RAM and (slightly faster) SSD.
And it very comfortably beats the 7535U while consuming less energy & staying cooler.
Definitely a deal breaker for Windows x86 dependant workflows; not so much for Linux users tho.
I think AMD is the only one with a real chance at matching and maybe beating Apple in the mini PC space, but pricing and architectural differences still make it really challenging.
Yeah. I saw the Mac mini in a store not long ago. I don’t know about the state of Linux support for the M2 platform. I somewhat dislike Apple for nowadays soldering everything and making things so they can’t be updated or repaired. And they take a crazy amount of extra money to put in a proper amount of RAM and storage. Like Apple’s price explodes from 700€ to ~2000€ once I put in 24GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD.
