But I think Charlie's idea of having a backup mini somewhere once I replace this MBP with an M1 (or other Apple Silicon) version might be worth having around. I could use it in home automation, or as the entertainment server for the network, then if any AS machine dies, boot the external drive onto that for the temporary fill in. Have to think about that one. For a business operation, or something critical, the fact that any failure in the SoC makes the entire SoC non-operable would be cause for some serious concern. Might call for some emergency backup machines, just in case. This will definitely take some thought and planning.</blockquote>
