That doesn’t seem very good for the price.
When... have their products ever been competitive on price? Not even shitting on them, but there's always been an Apple tax.
Mac Mini M1 when it was released was a good deal compared to same form factor machines at similar prices. Same for the M1 MacBook Air, despite the base RAM.
That advantage lasted a while, too, considering battery life and build quality.
Still running an m1 Mac mini right now, it's a damn good machine, but the performance gains over the years on the m series chips haven't really forced me to upgrade yet. As for gaming, I just use GeForce now to play my steam library and it's awesome, it's a really great combo. The 8GB of ram is lacking, but I'm using GFN and not pushing it too hard, so I don't notice any meaningful performance problems. I'm also not editing photos or videos, so that probably helps.
