That's disappointing. I wonder if the M2 is more capable. Granted at that price point there's little reason to go Mac instead of Linux or even Windows.
Oh also, I just found out that Plex doesn’t take advantage of the GPU on the M series as of now, so either wait, or go Intel.
It doesn’t seem that much faster. As much as I love apple, I think you’d get more bang for your buck using a PC with specific hardware geared towards this.
Admittedly I was mostly drawn to the clean form factor of the mini stack. It's just so pretty.
It was a happy bonus that Plex was originally designed for Mac and works flawlessly on Mac hardware.
