Thank you. Still have to figure out some things before i go and buy one or the other. Still looking into how to add the monitor to a mac mini. Also not sure if i need a wired keyboard and mouse during setup or that it can be wireless bluetooth. And still deciding on 24 or 27 inch monitor and if i go for full HD, QHD or 4kThe new M1 Mac has the RAM integrated into the chip itself, there is no memory card slots on the motherboard. This makes it more efficient on memory usage and optimization, so 16GB in an M1 Mac is more than adequate and probably comparable to 32GB on an Intel based system.
