    Which Macs will skip M5 and wait for M6?

    I've got a feeling the Mini and iMac will wait over 2 years for an update from M4 to M6. Which I'm fine with. Perhaps the Studio and Pro too?

    Mac mini M1 Vs Mac Mini M2

    I need to buy a Mac mini asap for my studies. Since the M2 base model is quite slow I don't know if it is worth buying it with 256GB. I was thinking to buy the M2 512GB or the M1 model with 512GB which is faster. What do you think?
