Yeah, especially if it could run Linux. This would be a powerful little server.

I decked out my workstation with a 16 core Ryzen & 96GB RAM and it didn't cost anywhere near the price of this new 64GB M1 Max combo. (But it may very well be less powerful, which is astonishing. It would be great to at least have the choice.)



Ubuntu already has an ARM build. Is there a reason you wouldn't be able to run linux?


Last I heard, there were graphics driver issues left to iron out.

Linux 5.13 was the first with M1 support. Dunno if that's enough for M1 Pro/Max.

Who cares in a server ?


I assume because so far the only devices released with M1 processors have been consumer devices with attached screens, the focus has been on bringing over the full graphical, desktop Linux experience to it, not just headless server linux.


I think you’re forgetting the Mac mini


You're right, I forgot they updated the mini with the M1 last year too.
