It’s possible that that event could include the rumored Mac with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors. I also bought an Apple Thunderbolt3 to Thunderbolt2 adaptor and tried using it for Target Display Mode, but. Gurman also stated that “several new Macs” will be revealed at WWDC22 in June, though he doesn’t state specifically what Mac models will be released. I bought a 2018 Mac mini, and set it up today and I can confirm that Target Display Mode works using a non-Apple USB-C to mini DisplayPort adaptor, plugged into the minis Thunderbolt3 (USB-C) port. Or it could be an M2-based Mac mini, since it’s been over a year since the M1 Mac mini was released. In the world of high-end digital audio, this isn’t so much eye-watering as it is a false economy. He doesn’t state specifically what Mac it will be, but perhaps it could be a new Mac mini with an M1 Pro and M1 Max processor-that corresponds to a previous rumor that predicted a spring release. Consider how going all out on 2018 Mac Mini specification 3.2GHz 6-Core CPU, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD, 10Gb Ethernet pushes the price to US4199. 2022 Mac mini: The latest rumorsįebruary 6, 2022: In his PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stated that “at least one new Mac” could be unveiled at the rumored March 8 event for the new iPhone SE. But rumors have been swirling that Apple is preparing a refresh to the high-end Mac mini that could blow our minds and finally deliver the tiny Mac of our dreams. Nearly two decades later, it hasn’t really lived up to its hype, as specs, prices, and performance never quite reached the heights we expected.
On windows, there is a little something of everything, with most of it sucking.Īll of which is to say, when you buy Apple you are not just laying for a machine.When the Mac mini launched in 2005 as the first BYODKM Mac (bring your own display, keyboard, and mouse), it had the potential to be one of the most popular Macs ever made. Re tooling: somehow there is the perfect version of everything in the Mac store.
Not to mention using Windows for enterprise work: they add all that security and suddenly your computer fights you every step of the way.įor sure, Windows 10 is nice.
And to borrow my computers system resources to help update other computers. And then there's Windows constantly asking for more and more of my personal data to improve "user experience". And further remember what a colossal pain it is to implement any sort of sane backup of OS.
I also remember having to reinstall the operating system because Restore Points magically got erased while trying to recover.
Re Apple's decline: I remember 2-3 years ago my Windows machine constantly failing to install "critical updates" over and over again. Anyways, it cost about twice what it would have cost to get the memory at the time I configured the system on the Apple web site. I doubt that they would gone along with that, and missed out on the very high margin on the cost of the memory chips.
I should have asked if they would do the upgrade using memory chips that I supplied, but decided not to go that route.

Heres what everything we know about the new Mac Mini, including the. That alternated with a picture of a mouse.

While upgrading a headless Mac Mini 2018 to Big Sur the upgrade stopped. Its one of the best mini PCs you can buy.
Where Apple really got me, though, was that I selected 8GB of memory, intending to upgrade the memory myself if I needed it. The Mac mini 2018 (799 as tested) gets a full refresh with a new look, a new internal design and new hardware tuned to provide excellent performance. Very happy to have found these Samsung drives, runs at the speed of an internal drive. They’re NVMe drives…When I got the Mac Mini with an internal 256GB SSD, I knew that I’d be adding an external drive. The Samsung X5 SSD’s connected via TB3 are very fast.
