M4 vs M1 Mac Mini

The new Mac Mini M4 is generating a lot of buzz, with numerous introductions and reviews available online. I published an article titled M4 Mac Mini: A Perfect Build Machine for E2E Test Automation Labsto share my excitement following its announcement on October 30, 2024. But it was just a prediction based on the specs.

My daughter preordered one and did a benchmark test for E2E Testing (automated, of course). She then shared the results in an article. The set-up part might be of some interest to test automation engineers.
