Nice but overpriced I think. Maybe if it had a 256 SSD it would be a little more competitive.
Got a tip for us?

The long MacRumors nightmare (and punchline) is finally over! Hmm, has the sky always been this blue and grass this green?

Great update. Not a fan of Base SSD 128GB.

Remember kids, you’re not pro unless you like Space Grey.
This will be faster than the $799 1TB i5 2014 model that I have at home.
But at $799 I won't even be able to packup 2 iphones.
Yes I use icloud but always do both.

I don't know why people would expect a discrete GPU in the Mini. It didn't make sense.

Desktop CPU. Upgradeable RAM. As someone has already said, have someone been lacing Tim's coffee with something lately? Or, are the masks from Mission Impossible now...possible?
Instabuy. God, I've been waiting a long time to replace my multiple Mac minis!

I doubt it. I am guessing soldered storage is the way forward for all Macs. The T2 chip may also mean the Hackintosh culture needs to find a way around it.

A little disappointed in the i3 but it still seems like a big upgrade from the previous models.

I have been holding out hope this Mac would come. I am quite thrilled with my display setup and squeezing in an iMac wasn't that appealing, especially with the glossy screen.

They need to dangle the bait and then we all upgrade for the big money. They need to get to $2 trillion somehow.

starting at 799, wow i admit i was wrong on price... there i said it.
Looking good, but the 64GB RAM is a gimmick. Probably a marketing move to shut up some bashers...

Basically very positive. I was steeling myself for disappointment, but I’m not disappointed. Maybe they really did decide not to steer the Mac mini ship into the iceberg after all.

I am not going to pay 1.6x the price for a device that has not kept pace with Mores law. "60% fast graphics", that's a laugh. Remember 10+ years ago when Steve jobs touted a dedicated graphics card in their actually affordable baseline consumer lines? I do. This blows.

Super excited about this. Not surprised the cost went up. Can’t wait to see the price breakdown with the SSDs
So we were waiting 4 years just for this? Just a spec update and nothing more? Am I missing something or is Apple really lazy with the mini? There is literally no reason why this took 4 years. They could have updated it at least 2x within this time frame.

I'm waiting to see full pricing and configuration on Apple's site, but this could be my next Mac. It looks impressive.

Don't think it really matters when you can go eGPU, and basically have a GPU upgrade path for life?

No sarcasm – what did you expect? No spinners, lots of connectivity options (I half-expected 2xUSB-C and nothing more), 4-6 core CPUs, price bump – what else did you hope for?
