Who else prefers their 2018 Mac mini over the m2?

[uOpt]

I am still using my Intel Mac for audio.

It is a 2019 16" with the faster of the two i9s. Of course the fan is annoying (but I use headphones anyway) and battery life is a joke. But some applications including audio are just more straightforward on it.

I also have a M1 mini but use it for other things.
