I agree. It was sad to see the Mini loose its quad-core option, but it's still a fine computer that can fill it's purpose.
Also, that's more Apple's fault than Intels. Apple chose not to redesign the logic board to accompany a quad-core intel option. It's not like Intel denied access to the chips.
Maybe. But, wait. What quad core Broadwell i7? Did I miss something? I thought it still wasn't out. I'll eat crow if I missed it, but I did a quick search and only find some tests.
Eh. I typed a bunch of stuff, but its just me. This is just the first time I have been caught in a year where I need a new machine and can't get what I want at the price I want.
I'll live.
I'm not intentionally trolling, but I am curious if others got a little deja vu with the rMB like I did when seeing the specs. I'll have to go up to the store and see if they have Logic loaded on anything in my price range and bring some of my mixes.
I have been sitting here with my awesome Dell monitor for a year because my screen broke on my MBP and I have been waiting for a mini. Unfortunately I am easily swayed by internet grumbling. Not my finest quality.
