Please, Apple, where are we on desktop?
I have a great home platform with a TimeCapsule router/backup, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, a MBP and 2 mac Minis. That's a fair investment for a household, I'd say?
Why minis? Well, we *would* have likely gone iMac instead of minis if the screen choice was like 24, but opted for minis as iMac 21 was too small, 27 too big (ergonomics of local environment).
So here we are with minis which need updating, BUT...
Somewhat confused as to what the next step is for these minis/our desktop computers. I certainly hoped for clarity to appear last month, but it didn't. Given the lack of delivery on desktop last month, is it maybe sensible to just max out entirely on the best possible existing mini (3.2K to do that for the two) to buy time until you make a decision?
Given:
1) Will you unexpectedly update the mini next Spring and make such a purchase crazy in hindsight?
2) Will you ditch desktop next Spring and "brick" such a purchase with OS updates inside 3 years?
Darn, you know, this whole situation makes me nervous enough to consider moving everything onto a Windows/Android platform - painful though that would be.
Please help with at least some guidance or assessment of what is best to do.
Thanks.
