Howdy hunters! If you're like me, you've been following Apple's latest hardware announcements closely, including the latest Mac Mini M1, a beast of a machine. The person I've always looked to for Apple insights is Yann, and his company Scaleway just released the first Mac Mini M1 as a service offering, which gives you the ability to spin up Big Sur natively on the fastest machine on the market, all for super cheap! If you're looking to play around with the Mac Mini or use it in production, this I'd definitely check it out - or at least watch their beautifully Parisian launch video!

The video looks like a wink on the AWS one about the Mac mini (but Intel)

This is the native M1 experience. It comes with a good deal of bandwidth so the remote desktop is buttery smooth. But above everything it's super cheap, like 0.10€/hr, compared to what aws charges ($1.083/hr). Let's hope they restock soon!

Curious about Scaleway's Apple M1 as-a-service or have questions? Join our AMA with CEO @ylechelle and President/Founder @abermingham on, Friday, February 5th at 9am Pacific / 6pm Paris on Clubhouse 👋🏻 https://www.joinclubhouse.com/ev...

This is pretty cool! Also a good way to mess around with one before committing to purchase!

AWS forces you to buy a 24 hour block, does Scaleway also have that? I can't find the information anywhere on the site.

I was looking for this the other Day! Congrats on the launch!

Impressive achievement. Undercutting AWS is the evidence that "there must be another way". I have a MBA M1 and must confess the machine screams when it comes to handle heavy media. The beta version of Handbrake is a bliss... as is Pixelmator Pro. Eagerly waiting for the Topaz suite to be ported too !

Apple silicon as-a-service will allow companies to subscribe to a remote Mac mini so teams can collaborate on projects. Its ARM-based M1 consumes 55% less energy than its previous Intel-based chips while delivering better performance.

What you're doing is awesome. Definitely the best Cloud service provider in Europe.

Looks like an awesome product. Definitely want to get my hand on it!

Amazing! Congrats guys 👏🏻

I'm a happy customer over there, and have been for years. Best part is the slack channel where their engineering team is available for spot-help. Good luck!

Is this a dedicated machine, each developer gets their own machine? I.e the device is not shared? Dedicated access is required for our audits & certification. Could you clarify if the Physical machine is shared or not. Thanks

0.10€/hr, but u can take ONLY 24 hr ((((, so real price is 2,4€/day ( !! As required by Apple License, you must keep this instance at least 24 hours. You will be able to delete it only after 24 hours.)
