Interesting.
But an awful lot of digression away from the 'core' topic.

Sorry couldn't resist the pun on 'core'.

I've actually been looking at this as a dedicate PC for working from home. Right now I'm using my old MacBook Pro, but it sometimes chokes on large Zoom and Team video conferences (over 12 people). I really only need it for remote access to our corporate systems, photo enhancement, and maybe run some Python programs run locally. It was nice to see in the video that I could use it to edit video if I needed too.

Ed I think in the short term Adobe products are not supported but it looks like a pretty interesting little machine. I need to watch some more reviews but so far I am sold on this. Looks to be a great small machine. I am a huge fan of the micro set up. Go anywhere leave a small footprint.

So Cool news Adobe has an M1 Beta in the works for premiere... yippie

Adobe released an Apple Silicon version of Premiere Pro. This release allows Apple Silicon M1 Macs owners to run Premiere Pro natively.

However, the software is still in beta and there are a few known bugs and missing features. Adobe says it will port Premiere Pro’s features in phases over time, focusing primarily on its core editing functions. “This phased approach allows us to validate performance and functionality for specific parts of the application before we add new components,” Adobe says. “And it also allows you to start seeing the benefits now.” To start, Adobe will roll out the software’s core editing functions and workflows. Additionally, codecs like H.264, HEVC, and ProRes are being added.

It will be nice to read your review if you get one.

I brought up getting one with my wife this weekend. Her response was "I want a new laptop". No Mac mini for me, but I did order a Macbook Air M1 for her last night :conf: I won't be allowed to use it, other then to set it up and do occasional 'help desk' duties, but will post a review of the processor performance. It's supposed to show up by the third week of February.
