Hi MacRumours

I want to purchase the current Mac Mini at $599.00 should I wait for the new mac Mini to be released? is it likely that there will be a new Mac Mini at the same price? Or will this version still be on sale at a lower price?

I heard that apple are having their keynote/conference next month, I'm thinking a Mac mini may be announced along with the iPhone 6.
 
Can you wait? I'd say wait, there seems to be some indications that a release is closer then it was before.

As for next month's "keynote" That is specifically for the iPhone so I wouldn't expect any Mac related topics to be covered.
 
Yes I can wait even till up until the end of the year. My iMac is okay for now but I need to upgrade. Do you think its likeley these current Minis will stay on sale at a lower price like they do with the iPhone or am I likely to get new 2014/2015/ Mac mini coming in at around $599.00 because that would be brilliant

Aside from the passage of time, what "indications" have there been?

The length of time could just as easily suggest the Mini is being EOL'd.

There were certainly be some available for quite some time to come in the refurb store at a lower price.

the base model shows up from time to time at the refurb store. when available it goes for $509. when you add tax, the difference is easily $100 between brand new and refurb.
 
I was waiting several years for the new Mac Pro and I still waiting for a new version of the new Mac Pro... you can wait a week.
 
Think carefully about waiting for the new Mac Mini. Judging by everything else Apple seems to be doing, it's quite possible that Apple could solder the Ram and Storage to the logic board in the same way that they have done with the Macbooks.

This is the number 1 reason that I bought Mac Minis when I did instead of waiting.
 
Microcenter has the base Mini for $ 549.00, I got tired of waiting and picked one up about 9 months ago and slapped 16 gigs of RAM in it. It certainly seems like a new model would be out any day but for my use which is in my home office using Pages, Mail and Safari it's more than adequate.
