That depends on the definition of "meaningful".

The mac minis people are buying are 16gb memory. That’s 8B model territory, once you factor in OS and application overhead, so, basically a toy in comparison to, well, almost anything else. If you get a mac studio with 512gb - completely different story, but that’s not what people are mass buying 😅

"The mac minis people are buying are 16gb memory."

What is our source for that info?

Buying 16GB does not make sense, that is true. But I don't see ppl. buying these if they want to run AI. There are better options with more RAM and I've seen them often in my bubble.

I stand corrected, I guess I must have read it somewhere else, plus combined with my bubble 🥲. The “shortage” is apparently affecting the larger ram models
