    Easily. And actually it'll do video editing and gaming with ease anyway.

    Pity I didn't see this earlier. Patrick - the Garageband Guide has done reviews of all of the M1 models now - starting with the Mac Mini - which seems like a brilliant buy - but not in the very basic configuration - should have at least the 512 Gbyte version.

    See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BU35UO9FdM

    Pete Johns has also done some reviews - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhjKmEBT86Y

    The M1 processor appears to beat the heck out of any of the other chips which have been used in Apple kit. In fairness, we bought a 27 inch iMac last year, with an i5 processor. For most purposes it is brilliant - having the large screen is great.
    I might still go for a Mac Mini later - and couple it with a large screen.

    Really depends what one wants a computer for - to decide which model to get.

    Did Robin go for the 27 inch JL offer?

    i always used windows at work but for personal use have preferred Apple.

    Very happy with my Q5, but its an Audi so everything is an add on, the Q3 is a great car which I might have gone for but I’m big guy these days and the Q5 ticks all the boxes, but it is a premium brand, so depending on want you are looking can be expensive.

    Good move Robin. Now buy two of these and pop them in the RAM slots round the back (remove the power lead and press the little button above the socket with a screwdriver to release the door), and hey presto, you immediately have 40GB of RAM - more than enough for almost everything.
