> low-price alternative to mac mini

This starts at 1099$ per the article, so the mac mini is the low-price alternative here.

This starts with 32GB of RAM, so no the mac mini isn't the low priced alternative at that point.

Also fully spec'd at 128gb is $2000, which only gets you a 64gb mac mini

The max config with 128gb ram is half the price of mac and 8tb ssd is 800 and not 2000

If you can find me a Mac Mini with 32GB of RAM I'd love to see it.

Select 32

It's not exactly an out of the park win though as it's only $100-$200 cheaper and it trends poorly the farther from comparing base models you go (particularly after 64 GB, for which you need to leave the Mini family for the Studio). By the time you get to 128 GB, which you'd want for the 70B class AI models, you end up back at the original statement.
