Seeing some Mini M2 Pro reviews raving about it's speed improvement over the M1, some calling it a "Studio-junior."
Apple Mac Mini (2023) review: Mac Studio junior
With two processor choices — one for everyday computing, the other for conquering creative work — Apple’s littlest Mac has never been more appealing.

https://9to5mac.com/2023/01/23/m…I guess despite some of the previous comments here, I'm tempted to upgrade via trade-in my Mac Mini M1, simply because that trade-in value is going to decrease by the time an M3 is out in a year.
I've been perfectly happy with the M1, it was a great upgrade to my 2017 iMac, I've got a nice dual monitor setup at home for that computer and my work MBP, and as long as I'm not going nuts in Logic Pro, it's a great machine. Just tempted to upgrade since the M1 still has some trade in value that it won't have next year.
- The two extra thunderbolt ports are a big upgrade in my eyes. I have the last Intel Mini with the same form factor, and I'm using every port + dongles.section_014
- I just had to change some connections to use a new USB 3 external SSD, so I'm maxed out on the two.mg33
- That was to upgrade an older spinning external that was my Logic Pro working files drive. Nice improvement.mg33
- Do it ;) small price to pay for 3 more yearsmonospaced
- Myeaaaah the point with Apple tech is that you upgrade when the software > hardware and for some models that's 5+ years
No need to trade in anythinggrafician - Your last upgrade was iMac 2017 so 5 years. You shouldn't buy or trade anything new until at least 2025, the rest is FOMOgrafician
