Not so surprising. Many people buy computers (and everything else) just based on price. Windows never would have survived this long if that weren't the case.
Got a tip for us?

So.... three portables and one desktop?
LOL. Yeah.
I needed the PC for work training stuff, once I am reemployed into storage it goes. I barely use the iPhone. If it was up to me, I'd ditch the iPhone. I mainly use my iMac and the iPad for reading and drawing. I consider myself a desktop user more than anything else.
Incorporate iOS and AppleTV, add a 4k BD Drive and call it a day. The ultimate home theater PC.
If I can run office off of it, I have a TV already. Make it backpack ready and I can plug into a monitor when needed.
The ultimate to go PC.

I predict we will not see a new mac mini this month.
I see what you did there. You are a genius!

The cook has nothing to prepare

There have been so many great posts here. But you sir, have elevated your status to Best Post in this Thread! Well done. (if part of your post was a quote, credit is due them also)
Much like the "wet paint, don't touch" signs or the cycle of war which has never produced lasting peace for humanity - convoluted, conflicted and challenged by our own existence in the midst of the observable void of other life in our corner of the universe.
No matter what happens the odds of our existence bring with it incredible consequences - and among those consequences the Mini is most certainly coming!

I don't know about you guys, but my Mac Mini 2018 is almost here, reincarnated as Intel NUC7i7DNHE (Dawson Canyon NUC), only a month or so left to wait, until it becomes widely available in the shops

Hackintosh? Without macOS, it's not a Mac... so while that may be your "solution", it's not mine. Good luck.
I bought a NUC. It is nice but doesn't have the soul of a Mac.I don't know about you guys, but my Mac Mini 2018 is almost here, reincarnated as Intel NUC7i7DNHE (Dawson Canyon NUC), only a month or so left to wait, until it becomes widely available in the shops
Neither does a "Mac" these days.
New ones do have price close to that of a basic Mac mini but content of the $1999 version. New NUC - $849 - https://smile.amazon.com/Intel-3-4Ghz-Hybrid-Bluetooth-Windows/dp/B01B88NS0G
Mother of all rumors:
If they play this in the beginning of Apple Event, there will be a new Mini released!
Enjoy your 2014 dual-core Haswell, Mac mini, purchased in 2018. Many of us have said, enough is enough!

It was just a question. I'm not interested in Windows of any flavor... and Linux holds no interest for me... I moved to an iMac for the duration.
You made Tim smile.
He FORCED you to move up Cha-ching Mac ladder, with a better $$$ return for Apple.
Moved to an iMac = Apple wins you lose.
Steve Cook could come to my home with 2 iMac's maxed as best as they can be for free and I would show him the door.
I am deeply saddened that you cracked and got that iMac. I am typing on a basic 2014 with 4gb ram.
I have a 2011mini with the gpu I have a 2012 i5 mini.
Most of my net typing and blog writing is with the macs.
But I moved on. I have android not iPhone due to Apple's desktop attitude.
I have a lenevo m700 tiny with an i7 6700 32gb ram and a 500gb ssd.
For a lot better experience. then any mac mini.
I come to the mini section 1 or 2 times a week with mixed feelings. Since Apple did destroy the mini I stopped selling souped up mining on eBay and started mining coins. Apple's idiocy has made me good money in the world of crypto coins .
Not that they wanted this for me. but it turned out this way. But I rather have a 12 minis in my clean room waiting for me to mod them it was a bit more fun for me.
