To be honest if they add the ability to run one coherent cluster instance of MacOS on the stack mini that aggregates cpu and memory through thunderbolt 3 that would actually be pretty innovative and cool

Imagine being able to hook up multi displays to separate nodes and drag the windows of a running application between them

Upgraded to 256gb of storage the mini is only $100 less than a base 21.5-inch iMac with basically the same specs

iMacs don't fit nicely into build farm racks though

the mac mini really only exists because apple won't let people officially run macos in a vm

i thought the announcements in the keynote were relatively good, with some quirks.

-macbook air with function keys, two USB-C ports and audio output, but strangely pricey
-mac mini. very powerful, but small baseline storage. why
-ipad pro with new pencil. i don't know much about this one

yes. "3.5 mm headphone jack" in the tech specs

so does the nu-mini have user-replaceable ram? they specify it's so-dimm instead of magic soldered memory

e: $200 for an extra 128gb ssd lol

yeah i think it's user-replaceable. if you go to the overview you can see it's similar to the compartments they had before. plus it says it's "upgradable"

yeah there's people who want to spend $100+ on a wireless charger for some reason even though you can get one for like $20 on amazon that works fine

I don’t get why you would need a big ssd on a Mac mini, just buy an external hardrive with a few tb for whatever awful photos or anime you desperately need to hang onto

take what i say with a grain of salt, but i'm 99% sure that the ram is upgradable, and backed up that up by checking various articles, including this one that reached out to apple about that very thing: https://www.zdnet.com/article/the-new-2018-mac-mini-is-a-pro-machine-in-a-tiny-package/

though i think that article has the baseline storage incorrect
