Because anyone with $15,000 of displays will want the Mini instead of the Studio, of course.

So does this mean you can now daisy chain two studio displays and run them both off one thunderbolt port/cable on the new mini?
I have a Mac mini m1 1TB with 16 GB RAM that I use for torrent & Roon. I use an Apple TV 4K HDR with Infuse Pro. All is connected to a 65” OLED from Glorious Panasonic. It’s glorious. I’ve been using this setup for several years and never had an issue.
I’m not sure if there is gain to upgrading. Maybe my mini is overkill already just for my use-case?
Next would be to change to 10 Gb/s Ethernet and change internet provider for 8 Gb/s but honestly I’m fine today with my 400 Mbit/s potato speed.
The problem is lack of content: all torrent sites are getting shutdown.

Nice, but Mac Mini buyers are unlikely to ever have three Pro Display XDRs.
People with the budget for 3 $5000 monitors are not going to get a $1400 Mac mini.
Begs for TB5 displays. Not sure if there are any available yet but hopefully [several?] someone somewhere have some in development.
might be a dumb question but does anybody know it can drive 2 4k. 240hz display? Currently they are limited to 120hz for two (One can be driven at 240hz)
Yeah, better glue it on the back side of the monitor and then make the photo.
Just to confirm?
The base $599 model can run 3 different displays? Or is the pro needed?
Thinking about replacing a 2017 32inch iMac (would like to replace with another iMac but a 24 inch display won’t work). Any chance I can use the old iMac as a display?

Let's not be too greedy. Would be happy to have just two Pro Display XDRs. We don't need to have the modern equivalent of Al Gore's setup. Still, cost is $4999 x 2 + Pro stand $999 x 2 + AppleCare $499 x 2. About $13,000 + tax. Three would be $19,500 + tax.
I have a triple monitor setup but not at 6K. It's not even needed to be honest and it takes away more resources if you're using after effects or any kind of rendering software since there isn't a dedicated GPU on any logic board Apple uses
Wow honestly with such performance and specs (displays, Thunderbolt 5, CPU performance, neural engine...), it's almost a Pro machine 🤣
Base model can run 3. It’s listed right on the tech specs on apples site. Can run 3 off of the thunderbolt ports or 2 off thunderbolt and 1 off hdmi at once.
It is here. Dell U4025QW at least, 5K2K with 120Hz. I do hope it fits well somewhere among those permutations of 60-240Hz and 1-3 displays.
If you have the space (and the mini supports it) consider an 8K monitor. Sounds pretty good for certain folks:
Using an 8K TV as a monitor
For programming, word processing, and other productive work, consider getting an 8K TV instead of a multi-monitor setup. An 8K TV will have superior image quality, resolution, and versatility compared to multiple 4K displays, at roughly the same size. As a bonus, an 8K display is also suitable...
