How can I choose the right Mac mini for Music Production?

Can someone recommend which Mac Mini to buy for music production? I plan to use garage band and maybe logic. I don’t foresee getting too deep with this so just need something to record my musical ideas.

Mac Mini i7 vs. Mac Mini M1 for music production. Any thoughts on a Mac Mini i7 vs. a Mac Mini M1 for a hobby recording studio? I use Logic Pro X to record myself on guitars, synths, VI’s etc. The i7 (2019 T-bolt 3, 12 threaded cores, 32 GB RAM) is obviously way cheaper and way more in my budget, but I don’t want to get something and outgrow it in a few years.

Appropriate Mac Studio for Logic Pro X and other music software I am in the market for a Mac Studio, but I do not know which one will be powerful enough/overkill for what I typically do. I use a lot of plugins such as EastWest, Spitfire, etc., with Logic Pro X and Dorico 5. My compositions range from 80-track Logic projects to symphonies in Dorico. Currently, I am using a 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro chip. Typically, I have infrequent system overload issues with Logic (I always work from an external drive), but I would like for the program to flow better. Thanks in advance! Chien-Tai Chen

How to prepare M4 Mac Mini for resale. I stupidly fell for the hype by YouTube affiliates and got rid of my old Win10 PC and bought a Mac Mini M4 for £599. Hopefully my post will not just get deleted and I may get some help as this is actually messing my head up. I didn't buy it from Apple, I got it from an online store so there was no way to send it back before 14 days had passed and I'd already tried it. I wanted to get rid of it originally because I don't like the fact the Close button doesn't work on MacOs, you can only play MP4 in Quicktime and you can't just try your music - it gets pinched into the Music app. Also, I have recently tried to move my music to a usb stick and it seems to add 10 blank files that my hifi has to rapidly jump through before playing any album. In short the OS is unusable to me and I hate it with a vengeance. If there is no way of losing most of my money can you at least tell me how to blank it off properly so I can sell it asap, thanks.
