Working remotely means I now have 3 computers on my desk. 2 different agency laptops and my Mac, which I mainly use for work. Desktop space at a premium price I was surprised at how well made and how smoothly they ran from the very solid aluminum construction. Anodized to space gray or close to it. Much more durable than required. It can be opened about ½ inch wider than pictured. This allows for better airflow around the Mini and the M1 runs slightly cooler than the previous i7 family. But it's much faster
