Hi I just bought a Mac mini because I thought my 2013 MacBook Pro is dying. I upgraded the OSX and did the clean install again. Now my MacBook Pro 2013 is useable again and I don't really need the MacMini anymore. My Mac mini is still under 14 days return window. I got it at apple ref page. Its 2018 3.2ghz i7 with 8GB Ram 256GB SSD for 1200 shipped. Should I return the Mac mini and stay with MacBook Pro? Do they get cheaper if I buy it next year or is it going to be the same price? If it will get cheaper then I'll return it and buy the same mac for cheaper or better one for the same price.

Btw my MacBook pro is late 2013 4GB 128GB SSD. I only use it to browse the web and youtube so dont really need the super fast mac yet.

Thanks
 
The only question is: Do you really want a mini? Because it took 5 years to get this update, so the next one will most likely be an ARM machine in another 4 or 5 years... :) And they won't lower the price, that doesn't happen in Apple land. BUT there almost certainly will will be new laptops in 2019, and maybe one of them would be more "your style"?

I bought the new mini and it's a great machine, but then I've been waiting since the sadness of 2014 for a mini I could be pumped about.
