Which one to choose for Macbook AIR 2020 or Mac mini development?

Question

Mac Mini

I have an external monitor. I wanted a compact computer for it, like a drummer, but it turned out that there was nothing ready on the market. More precisely, there is, but everything is somehow ugly and with strange hardware.

In the end, it turned out that from what suits me, this is only a Mac Mini. But recently the MacBook Air 2020 was released, which seems to have a processor that should be noticeably faster.

Well, or offer another ready-made option.
You need 4 physical cores and 16 GB of RAM.

Answer 1

you have, as usual, strange criteria: I need a miniature system unit, and the macbook air percent is cooler - concepts of a different order.
1. you need to decide: sistemnik or laptop.
2. you need to decide: is apple really needed. if you need makos - no questions. if not needed - the question is simple, "why apple?".
