It's poor design. The audio jack and power button should both be on the back, there is room.
I've scrupulously moved all my media, my downloads and documents folders, and large apps to the external SSD (at least those that cooperate), and still I've filled up more than half of my 512gb. 256 just doesn't cut it. Keep in mind your SSD likes plenty of free space to do wear leveling, too
So we lost the HDMI port? Edit: correction: HDMI is still there.
Nevertheless I think my m1 mini 16/512's resale value just tanked

What i can't get away from with the desktop Macs, either buy Apple's overpriced, under-featured, touch ID keyboard/an Apple watch or get left putting in a password like it's the 90's.
I like the idea of them, I just can't.

Someone needs to edit the Apple Intelligence and Environmental Impact aspects out of these announcements.
Power button on the back I'll give you, but I would call the headphone jack being in the back bad design
Yeah I guess that's true, Apple don't seem that proud of it though, not a single promo shot shows it being used. Maybe it's just because Apple want everyone to use airports 😅
The good thing about them being pre-recorded is you can just skip ahead.
£799 in the UK for the 512 upgrade - that’s £50 cheaper than the previous M1/M2 upgrade deals.
And a whopping £250 cheaper than my 16/512 M1 purchase.
Wow.

I noticed on Apples website that it will compare with Apple Mini 2018 (Intel) and 2020 (M1). Why not compare it to the latest? I would like some benchmarks please.
Had to laugh with the on button is on the bottom, after we just had the new USB-C mouse that is still on the bottom.

Holy F- Thunderbolt 5? That's the one thing I've been holding out for to hook up some 5k 120hz refresh monitors.
When it actually works 😂
This comes down to how people use their computers and everyone will have different use-cases. I am not constantly plugging things into ports on my Mac mini. I have one free Thunderbolt cable plugged into the back of my Apple Display and ready to use for the rare occasion when I need to quickly plug something in. I've not used a headphone jack in ages, and my Mac mini is not hidden. I also hate USB-A and cannot understand why people just can't let it die (glad Apple didn't cling onto it like many others have). But again, to each their own.
Check Best Buy for a promotion, they'll probably be offering a decent trade-in promo, they've been doing it for other recent launches.
True. If you are going to use an external DAC you may as well use a USB one. You can get a better one that way.
I say wait a year, until the Studio and the Pro are updated. I would expect the XDR to be updated before the Studio Display, but who knows 🤷♂️
YES! A $3,000 monitor to go with your $499 Mac Mini!
