While I’m not an SE user, an SE with USB-C instead of Lightning would be a good sign. Updated Mac Mini with four USB-C ports. That’s what I’m hoping for…
[MorganFreeman] It does not... [/MorganFreeman]
Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for:
- Charging
- DisplayPort
- Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40Gb/s)
- USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s)
- USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)
;^p
Laptops are where MagSafe is truly useful, because laptops get plugged in in all kinds of precarious places. It is unlikely that after bringing back MagSafe Apple would not include it on future MBPs.
Unless I totally missed something, the 2020 13" MBP does NOT have MagSafe.
You might be confusing the 2020 13" MBP with the 14" and 16" MBP from 2021, which were the first MBPs to have MagSafe since it was removed on the horrible 2016 MBP redesign.
Maybe you are right, but if the chassis isn't changing, I would think that would include MagSafe, or lack of one.
Hopefully you are correct. Apple was silly to remove it from their laptop line.
Looks like I am going to be really disappointed yet again!!! Really want a MacBook Air..
Not so excited about this ngl. But I'll try to see if there is something interesting about this event. Maybe a teaser of some sorts 
With all the rumors, I agree... With the exception of the rumored Mac Mini, that deserves an event if it is a redesign.

Let's face it: Apple is BY FAR not as an exciting company as some people would like to believe.
Can't help but wonder how long these old molds keep holding up? Aren't they worn out after hundreds of millions of chassis pressed during the past 6 years?

What about an Apple TV with M1 chip and 10 gigabit ethernet? It would be nice to have a streaming device that can process a lossless 4K blue ray rip over the network with power to spare.
I'm hoping for disappointment. ...that way even if they do something great, I'll still be disappointed in being let down by that. Maybe then I'll finally feel some satisfaction.
I'm curious to see if they can get the M2 chip to make a similar leap in performance, or if the gains aren't repeatable and come back down to earth. Maybe in another ten years when my intel macs kick the bucket I'll be ready to switch. ...but I doubt it, bc if I wanted a mac that's fast and can't run windows, I'd just use an iPad, (conceivably someone would start making some professional design software specifically for it) which I'd rather use than a notebook anyway. I guess I'm not sure what purpose the ARM mac actually serves, when I think about it.

I am on the fence about a keyboard mac mini, but a schiit stack sized mini would be amazing.
* Mods... that's what it's called.

…..Because the article headline literally says “Everything we expect to see from the Apple event on March 8….”
Which clearly includes accessories that have been rumored for this event.
Great, now I want a Modi Multibit DAC, Loki Mini+ 4-band EQ, & Vali 2+ Tube Headphone Amp / Preamp...!
Well, there's really a huge mass of people who upon reflection buy and use the bread'n'butter hardware. In terms of units sold those are all items that drive a huge part of Apple's revenue and their reception by users is critical. Don't be a snob.
I would be happy with a new Mac Mini with an M1 Max, all I need.
You might be looking at the new Mac Studio (aka Cube 2.0) if you want a headless desktop Mac with a M1 Max SoC...
