Mac mini with M6 + M5 Pro is a weird mix — curious about SKU strategy.

Base M6 for most people; Pro for the few who need bandwidth.

If unified memory ceilings move, that changes buy timing.

I've been burned by underspecced base storage before.

Quiet majority just wants a quiet box that doesn't throttle.

Hard pass until we see ports and thermals under sustained load.

Bookmarking for price/config matrix day.

Solid unveil framing — less hype than Studio day.

Classic mini refresh. Still the best desk PC for many.

Waiting for independent power/noise measurements.

Same form factor bets — hope SSD is upgradable this time (doubt).

Interesting Pro option if Thunderbolt lanes actually differ.

I'd believe the upgrade more with real export-time comps.

We'll see how it stacks vs. a used Studio for media work.

If this sticks, it actually changes my office rebuild plan.

Source quality is the keynote — ignore the affiliate hot takes.

This is the kind of SKU that ages well if software keeps up.

Done debating chips — waiting for Geekbench + Blender.

Agree M6 naming is confusing next to M5 Pro — branding mess.

Not hyped for colors; hyped for idle wattage.
