Just about your ssd, card you have to get in and out several times, i have the same issue on my 27 inch imac as with a usb key on the M1 Mac mini i don’t think it is an apple issue. thx for the review I intend to get a mac studio to replace the imac since the Mac mini is already good but need more ram etc… the fact u can use any screen is just the best thing apple did. For the sound issue really I’m not really surprised and understand your point, the internal speaker has always been for the chim to tell u it’s alive! On my g4 etc always had speakers! And when u have headphones it’s just a blast. For the slipping issue well since this is not a tour anymore it can’t stick into place, on the Mac mini ports are in the back and it’s always the same thing but if apple do something to get your computer to stick to your desk people will complain ahahah for sure on the old imac it’s heavier so don’t move that much .. but we are at a time where it’s becoming difficult to find negative things so people always have their own little things, life ain’t perfect but when you see how the computer has evolved it’s outstanding! Imagine people still using G5 tour that are really heavy !!!
