Can I REPLACE My 2013 Mac Pro with a LOADED M1 Mac Mini?

So here's the big question: Can I replace my 2013 Mac Pro Trashcan with a fully loaded 2020 M1 Mac Mini?

And here's the even bigger question: Will a 2020 M1 Mac Mini run 3 or even 4 monitors?

Oh, and one more question: Will my two Promise Pegasus2 R8 RAIDs work with Big Sur and the 2020 M1 Mac Mini?

We're going to try to get to the bottom of it in this video, and we'll look at OWC's new Thunderbolt 4 Hub to see if there's any way I can get my 4 monitor setup working with a 2020 M1 Mac Mini.

Also, is Apple going to make an M1X Mac Pro Mini? 'Cause that would be INCREDIBLE.

Come along on a journey as Matthew tries to figure out if he should get rid of his 2013 Trashcan and upgrade - temporarily - to the all new M1 Mac Mini.

Have I said M1 Mac Mini enough yet? Yow.
