Buy Mac Mini M1 (16GB RAM) at Adorama - $799 That's double the RAM in the base model and a configuration that's not as readily available at third-party retailers.

The online retailer has the Mac Mini M1 with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for $799, or $100 off its normal price. And maybe a bit longer if they keep selling Intel Macs for more than a year after everything gets upgraded to Apple Silicon.While the Mac Mini M1 on sale at Amazon continues to come in and out of stock, you can grab a version of the desktop with extra RAM for less at Adorama. In other words, if you buy an Intel Mac today, I think you can expect reasonable levels of support for 5-6 years. Which means I will expect the last Intel-compatible MacOS to be shipping in 2025-2026 and security updates therefore being dropped in 2027-2028. Assuming every Mac product gets upgraded to Apple Silicon by the end of this year, I will expect the last Intel Macs to be discontinued no sooner than late-2023. I expect that to happen 2-3 years after they stop selling the last Intel model. Judging by history, I expect this to happen 2 years after they stop publishing new macOS releases for the platform. I don’t plan on upgrading (beyond maybe maxing out the RAM to 64GB) until Apple drops support - when they stop releasing security updates for the most recent version of macOS it can run. It works great and I expect it to last quite a long time. I’m currently running the i7 model (purchased in October 2020 with 16GB RAM and 2TBSSD).

Apple’s web site shows that they are still selling the two high-end models: If more ports and RAM is more important to you than CPU/GPU speed, you can still buy the 2018 Intel Mac mini. If you’re planning to upgrade a mini, I would at least wait until after next week’s announcements, in case it gets updated.
