At about 2/3 the size of an A4 sheet and weighing just 1.2kg, the Apple M1X Mini Computer packs a lot of punch. With 8GB of RAM they are available in 256GB and 512GB storage versions and could be an excellent replacement for that tired old desktop PC you’ve been struggling with for way too long.
If coupled to an optional USB-C Hub as shown here, an extra USB-C data port, three USB-A 3.0 ports, plus micro/SD card readers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack port are added to provide convenient access to even more of your peripherals.
