A physically smaller Minisforum UM480XT with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD is $249.

The Mac Mini is a significantly better value.

[–] kirklennon@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Not at all. The Minisforum is overpriced garbage compared to the Mac Mini. They’re not even remotely comparable.

Mac minis are $600.
