back of new mini

[ivnj]

Before I decide weather to get the new mini I will need to see how it looks. The only thing I found was the comparison of features.

Mac - Compare Models

See what makes each Mac laptop and desktop different. And find the one that’s perfect for your life, your work, and your budget.

But I would still like to see pics of the back. What ports etc. But I cannot find any pics of the back. Will it be the same as the 2018s?

 

[jinnyman]

For your reference. It’s got 2 USB4 .

Thanks for the quick reply. I see they removed the sd slot.

And also only 2 C ports this time. 2018 had 4. Wonder why as there is clearly space there for 4.

Seriously...? I went to the Apple website, clicked on 'Mac', then 'Mac mini', scolled about 3/4 or so of the way down that page & there was a very large image of the back, with all the ports & such labeled...!

They removed the SD slot when they updated to the Space Grey model...?

its is due to m1, it seems to only support 2 tb ports

 

[ivnj]

That is bad. I hope M2 supports more than 2 ports. Or at least a hub.

they have to cause the higher end mbp and 16" has 4 tb ports

Yes, the previous update removed the SD slot. I have that one, tho not for long, gonna give the MBA a try and the trade in on the base mini 2018 is $330.

Not really bad, because this particular Mac mini is designed to replace the i3 version (which has been discontinued); now, that model DID have four TB ports, but the limit here is the M1 & it's single TB controller...

There will be more variants of the M1; M1X, M1Z, M1P for the Pro line-up...?

Or might they go tongue-in-cheek & call the next step up the M1B, B for Bloomberg...? ;^p

But yeah, there should be three or four variants of the M1, those top two (the ones for the Pro line-up) should be coming in 2022...?

My 2014 is offering 150 at apple. Not bad.

So then I guess I will wait. And then this model will be cheaper when new ones come out. But then my tradein will also be less.

I do not see pricing of the three initial M1 Macs going down when models with more powerful variants of the M1 are released...

Well perhaps not by Apple, but as time goes, more discounts available from 3rd party vendors...

Exactly but then in 2 years my 2014 mini will not be 150. It will be 15.
