I would like to upgrade to Apple silicon, but I have no need for a laptop. I hope they put the M1 Max in a Mac Mini soon.

Seems reasonable. They still sell the Intel Mac mini, despite having an M1 powered Mac mini already. The Intel one uses the old “black aluminum means pro” design language of the iMac Pro. Feels like they are keeping it as a placeholder in their line up and will end up with two Apple silicon powered Mac mini’s, One consumer and one pro

As is typical for apple, the phrasing is somewhat intentionally misleading (like my favorite apple announcement - "introducing the best iphone yet" - as if other companies are going backwards?). The wording is of course carefully chosen to be technically true, but to the average consumer, this might imply that these are more powerful than any CPU apple has ever offered (which of course is not true).

It will work but it will charge slower and probably won't charge when maxing out the juice off the SoC.

I think the 140w power adapter is to support fast charging, they mentioned charging to 50% capacity in 30 mins, I'd imagine power draw should be much less than 140w

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> XDR What does that mean?

The 6K pro monitor Apple sells.

Just so I don't misunderstand, does that mean I need XDR or will it work with any monitor? I was very surprised to see that the original M1 only supported one external monitor so just want to confirm before I press buy.

Maybe its a typo and they mean the Magsafe3 connector? I though the USB-C standard was limited to 100 watts.
