Mac Mini M5 Pro and M6
Apple release the new M5 Pro and M6 and people aren't really sure which one to buy just yet. This post is meant to help you decide which one might be best for you.
To break it down in a nutshell, if you are going to use the Apple Mac mini as a workstation, then the M6 pro will work just fine for single threaded applications. I generally suggest you go with as much RAM as you can afford since you not only are able to run smaller models, you also get to unlock memory bandwidth which will be more productive.
I would tailer M5 Pro for professionals and M6 fine for workstations or browsing for your parents or for those who don't use a lot of complex functions. There's really a Mac for everyone and the price points reflect that.
