Is no such animal. You buy a 27 inch 1440p or 4k monitor for $200-$400, a Logitech webcam for under a $100, and speakers from $15 to infinity. Don't forget keyboard and mouse. Used market is great for accessories as well. I have an Acer 27inch 1080p I paid $25 for used. Anker bluetooth keyboard $19.99 new, Pebble speakers $14.95 refurbed, so many options....

I know this is an old thread, but, did you purchase a Mac Mini?
How has your experience been @ThrowinRocks?

No. I waited and went with the base model M1 iMac. I just don't like wires everywhere. I have one cable for power and that's it. By the time you buy a decent monitor, mouse/keyboard, speaker, webcam, etc. your cost will come out about the same.

Understood. I only went with the Mac Mini since I already had a Samsung 49" monitor and other accessories.
Now, if I did not, well...

Same here. I already had the accessories so all I needed was the computer itself. I am extremely very pleased with my Mac Mini M1.

Ditto. Already have a 32” display with a 200x200 vesa pattern on the back to I got the Mac Mini and attached it to the back of the display. Already have an Apple keyboard and trackpad so now I have an homemade iMac.
