Base Mac Mini Sold Out From Apple Online Store

All sort of things could be at play here.
There's some really interesting ideas about it all, particularly from @theorist9.

Who knows .. I just hope it sorts itself one way or another.

I'd like to get a Mini again.

Obviously they didn't expect a run on the base machines for local AI servers. Who would? Those things are as unpredictable as all the crypto mining cannibalization causing NVIDIA graphics boards shortages years back. Some bubbles are unpredictable and come out of nothing. While corporate heads like to think they can create them out of hype, not the case in real life.

The Mac mini is too versatile as a product, the AI people like it, people with tight budgets appreciate the low price and nerds get decent specs like 8 tb of onboard storage! It's also great for everyone who uses a desktop 99% of the time, but goes on a trip and still needs a computer. Hopefully the production adjustments were successful.
