Stuart Brown October 21, 2022 at 10:36 PM I bought both, the Apple M1, for simplicity, reliability, 5nm, PCIe4, RAM on the chip die, it runs my MS Office 2019, google apps, and chrome well enough. I’d been working on a Ryzen 5 APU, it wouldn’t take PCIe4, even though I had PCIe4 and a motherboard that could take PCIe4, there was a software glitch, and the USB, wouldn’t work. So I sold it for half of the cost to make it and bought an Apple Mac mini M1. I went back to the mini-computer building, just cheapies, but there was a Ryzen 3 for $ 250, I got 32 GB of 3.2GHz LPDDR4, I had 500GB of PCIe4, that could downgrade to PCIe4. Little did I know, the RAM was a dud, so I sent the mini PC, back to the retailer, they said nothing wrong with it, I got 16GB of LPDDR4, 2.666GHz worked, then 32GB of 2.666GHz LPDDR4, which worked, $ 380 worth of RAM. But at least I got it to work, $A120 for 32GB of RAM, $A300 to double the RAM, on the Mac mini M1, $A300 to double the flash on the M1, $100 for 500GB of PCIe4 flash, for the R7 mini PC. So I use the M1 when I want to keep it simple, at a good calculation rate, but the R7 when I want high memory usage work, like photography. Both are heavy on the bloatware, 80GB, even with a clean PCIe3 backup stick and factory reset on the M1, due to having less memory, the M1, takes a long time to update and factory reset. The R7 has a similar amount of bloatware, but is fast, to boot up, and update, ‘horses for courses I say. I spend more time on the A15 chip iPad mini 6, and Apple TV with A12 chip, both of which have Wi-Fi 6, and the Xbox OneX, (which has 8 cores, 12GB of GDDR5, and 750GB of flash.) There’s just less work involved. +6 Reply Name Message Send Send Comparisons
