LOL... a plastic bag that costs 20% as much as an entire PC... that'll be a pass from me, then.
Got a tip for us?

If we are making irrelevant comparisons, you are 100% of the way to hiring four "ladies of the evening" in some countries.
It might be a premium bag, but it is still a cloth bag. It protects the Mini only from dust and scratches. if you are really going to haul the Mini around buy a Pelican case. Then the Mini would survive rolling around in the back of an open pickup truck in the rain. Or being shipped as checked baggage on an airplane.
Another “wonder” solution for an inexistent problem 🤦♂️
Lmao $99 for this. Their profit margin is even bigger than Apple selling Macmini.
It might be just me, but considering the price of a MacBook Air which was kinda designed to be trotted around and even comes with a "spare" screen, trackpad and keyboard (and even works without a power outlet for a not so limited amount of time!) .... this kinda feels like one of those things that are good intentioned but poorly thought out.
Great design and premium materials equals a price worth paying for discerning Apple customers.
That’s already there, here is a picture from my barn. My pony sometimes jumps on them and also likes to chew on the ports 😳
just imagine, there's people who like that aesthetic. But only if they bought it looking brand new and wore it down themselves.
Apparently it's a trending style. People used to get a new leather bag, and having patina as side effects of because they wear it, bang it, and expose it to the elements, just about everyday. Now, you pay premium to get a worn patina pattern out of the box for a sleeve that does nothing but sitting on a nice table in an air-conditioned room. The world has gone crazy indeed.
The annoying thing about laptops is that they ship with a keyboard, a trackpad and a screen that I'm not going to use. On the other hand, the Mac mini doesn't have a battery. For now, there is no ideal portable Mac computing experience.
It's high priced because the market is small, Waterfield uses really high quality materials, and they do the manufacturing in-house, not contracted out to China.
