All valid points.

So the interface(s) are an Apollo 8XP and an Apollo Twin MK2. I'd buy the 16GB model and no, I'm not into a lot of VIs - I'm mostly mixing.

If you have a decent monitor, keyboard, and mouse, the 16 GB M1 Mac Mini might be a the least expensive way to go. The 16 GB M1 MacBook Air and 16GB M1 MacBook Pro are more expensive but have a laptop form factor (including keyboard, trackpad, and monitor). Again, make sure the plugins you use are compatible with Big Sur and the M1 processor. I haven't kept up with the Universal Audio Apollo and UAD plugins for compatibility recently.
