I’m looking for a device I can use for WebKit/Safari testing. However, I can’t justify splashing too much cash on a MacBook that I’ll scarcely use.
I’m looking at something with Apple Silicon so that it won’t be dropped by the next software update.
Currently considering a 2020 M1 MacBook Air with a broken screen, which I can use headless. Maybe a Mac Mini, but they’re pretty scarce on the second-hand market. People seem to hang onto iMacs long-term, so they aren’t really around.
Any thoughts?

@vale How much are you willing to spend max?

@vale A refurbished Macbook Neo would probably be a great option, if you could find one. Still probably too expensive, but it’s hard to get a reasonable Mac any cheaper.

@vale have you tried Epiphany Technology Preview for Linux? It went pretty far last time I did. https://webkit.org/downloads/
