[quote=joemikeb]According to MacWorld: "AppleCare+ is available for the Mac mini for $99, which extends the standard one-year warranty to three years." No moving parts, no monitor and maybe like joemikeb says, they only have to replace one chip if something goes wrong.
…and unlike the MacBook and MacBook Pro the Mac mini is no keyboard, monitor, or battery that has to be covered by AppleCare. One downside to the M1 Mac mini compared to the 2018 version is the loss of two Thunderbolt ports and the USB A ports are USB 3.0 not 3.1 Gen 2. 😳 OWC's Thunderbolt 4 Hub adds $150 to the price of the mini and isn't shipping yet.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
