Soldered RAM? Don't care. Show me the benchmarks

Thanks. The problem is, the GPU in the new minis is (much) better, than in the old ones. Or is it maybe better to wait until, I don't know ... next year, until Broadwell comes out and the Mac minis get a refresh with better intel GPU?

If you have the 2011/2012 Mac mini quadcore or any Mac equivalent, I say wait for Broadwell or better yet Skylake.

But if you need it now like I do, no point waiting. Who knows they might delay for another 2 years again?

I just went to the Apple Store (Germany) (that is: physical store, not online) and they still have an old 2012 base model, that they sell for the same price as the 2014 base model.

Do you think its a better buy to get the 2012 base model, rather then the one which just came out, if its for the same price?

thanks for adivce.

One thing is for sure: Apple views us as pro freeloaders and has fisher priced the mini. They've decided it's time for us to pay some more Apple tax.

what a coincidence, I've suddenly decided to pay less apple tax!

I don't have any Mac ... I have a desktop PC.
