Indeed.

Unfortunately, some folks need a computer right now. If I were in that position I'd get an M1 mini + monitor.

... So many complaints on the M1 mini and intel mini’s Bluetooth connectivity put everything on hold...
The new 11.2RC version of Big Sur MAY have addressed the issues with BT. Hopefully in a few days we'll find out.

Clearing the inventory for the M1s.

Honestly this design was so amazing when it came out, but it feels dated now, so much bezel space for no reason (look online and you’ll see it is basically empty).
Yep all these years and those empty bezel carries nothing. No improvement on microphone, webcam nor FaceID despite it has the largest bezel that could contain a dozen of iPhone mainboards.

Even if you can't wait for a iMac refresh, I think the new M1 is a much better deal than the current iMac.
