The Dylan rumour says the price gap between 14" and 16" will be much more narrow than now between 13" and 16". Probably, the 16" will be cheaper because it is rumoured to have a similar M1X as the 14", whereas the current 16" adds a dGPU. Which would be good news indeed! Still curious about the weight because I find the current 16" with power brick to be much too heavy to lug around vs my older 13"+powerbrick.
I hope it scales down the refresh rate as necessary because 120Hz makes no sense for video, which is typically 50Hz.
I don’t think so. 🥺 I’m living vicariously through you and @LFC2020.🤩🤣 I have a pretty good setup with a fully spec’s 2020 Mac Mini—Intel, as well as the base M1 MBA.
However, if they announce a new Mac Mini that can support 2-3 monitors, I will be highly interested and will trade in my current MM without a second thought.🤞
Sell that M1 MBA. So you can get yourself a M1X 14 or 16” model. Unless you like the MBA M1. You should definitely think about it. @LFC2020 is making the move 😂 we’re all going to be so poor by end of this year.
Wonder what Apple has to offer about Mac Mini.
Not buying the next Apple Watch or any other apple product from now on, 120hz or ✋🚫⛔️📵
Beast mode is ON!!! logging into the apple education store from now. 😎😁🕺😂
I’m so happy you are upgrading! Just made my day. Thinking about buying some milk and toilet paper 🧻 so I can ship it out to you. Anything helps right?
What is the current educational discount?
Never mind… it looks to be the same 10% that I get with my veteran’s discount. I thought that the educational discount might offer a little more.
annoyingly in the UK you can't get to the educational prices without being a registered student through UNiDAYS..
Sheesh woman! Now I’m scheming on how to make this work 🤣🤣 Ok, I‘ll be glued to my computer watching the event HOPING that they announce a new Mac Mini 🤩. If no MM is mentioned, I’ll still keep an open mind re: M1X 14” or 16”.
If you see a 6 o’clock news feature on Monday about this crazy woman on the east coast Philly area robbing a bank, it’s probably me🤣🤣
Not upgrading yet 😁 need 💯% ✅ proof that 120hz is happening. 😁
Any chance these 120hz panels will have the same adaptive refresh rate as the iPhones?
You had me at 16” will be cheaper 😁
Can you see apple offering 2 different specs for 14” when it comes to the GPU?
Like the MacBook Air, one has a 7 core GPU while the other has a 8 core GPU.
If it ends up having it it will most likely have ProMotion too imo
Should I request a day off from work or what man. I’m scared.
Absolutely!!! Do it now. 😊😁
My StudentBeans expires on the 21st. Got everything crossed for a Monday preorder. If it’s Friday I’m gonna cry 😭
Ooooh, these look really tempting now that ProMotion is supposed to be happening. However, aside from multiple monitor support (and I probably could get by with only one external monitor), there's not that much of reason for me to upgrade 😢. My M1 MBA is powerful enough, and I'm still too much of a beginner developer to need a ton of GPU power--if web developers even need that much power? I'm guessing not unless lots of docker VMs are needed for the job.
Maybe as a graduation gift... and I don't even have a good external monitor, let alone a good desk setup, so that has to come first. A decent 34" ultrawide is going to cost me $500-700 or twice as much if I want 4k or 144hz. *sighs* The amount of technology I want is just insane right now 😔.

6pm announcement here in the UK. Plans already afoot to ship off kids to the in-laws on Monday to free me up
You should definitely be free during the keynote and the hour or so afterwards so you can order!! I'll personally just leave work for a few hours. I'm blessed to have a flexible job like that where I can just kind of.... walk away and do my hours later.
