Fantastic basic computer. Super good desktop and small and easy to lug around
I got my M2 8GB used for really good price.
They are tough, small, and easily luggable in backpack.
They work well with portable monitors, and technically only need the power cord for the mac, and one USB cable for display for display and power. Or one HDMI cable if you power the display separately.
Is as fast, or faster, as most laptops, though the low memory can hurt. However I was able to run latest Mac OS, with Windows 11 in a VM Ware VM on top of that, and still do my work.
Both the air intake and the exhaust are in one hole in the back, so you can place in backpack, with back end up, and and run it with the back pack unzipped. These Mini's in general never get hot and it stays super cool in backpack, even running the VMs and work.
Very very nice device if you really want a Mac for some special purpose, or maybe even as your only computer, and want to keep the price down. Again, works extremely well with portable display.
In my case I got a 18.5 inch 1080p portable which is way bigger than mac book air, for less money overall... by far. And i don't have to worry about risk involved buying bargain Mac Air's used. These Minis stay in good shape their whole life.
