The new Mac mini is almost certainly coming

[Jonesythecat]

There will be no mini and you know it

imac.

no headless one in between, but specwise, iMac is it.

Hate to agree, but afraid so. The headless imac would cannibalize the Mac pro. They would never make the mini too powerful for this reason as well.

 

[hugodrax]

Bad news, NO new mac mini will be announced today.

Boo. And hss.

Yes, hss.

The letter 'eye' has just stopped workng on my keyboard. For real.

t's a sgn of somethng. Most lkely a sgn that need to buy a new keyboard.

7 minutes to go... the suspense is killing me. The OP doesn't want to weigh in on how almost certain this event will be for a mac mini release?

And that's the issue. It's a glossy all in one computer and doesn't fill the gap. There is no mid tier desktop. I can't fathom that Apple hasn't done this on purpose for years.

If you require an OSX desktop you gotta make either make do with an outdated Mini or jump up to a Mac Pro. I believe there is a segment of users forced to the Pro

That's actually pretty funny. I'd help you come up with a replacement plan, but my calendar has no 5's.

Too much tension, I'm going out to drink (wine tasting). Call me when the new Mac mini/xMac/Macintosh is announced.

I don't see a Mac Mini on stage. C-net pictures

You wouldn't if it were being announced today.

Enjoy the new Mini that is certainly coming today.

That shows you just how small the new mini is!

Interesting...

The Australian Apple store has the front page of the Mini section showing a starting (ie base model) price of $749. Was $599 a few hours ago.

Also, not certain, but I think the main text line on the Mini page is different. Now it says:

Way more power. Way same size.

But tech specs still look the same. For now.

Had a look under the key. There's not been a spillage, but the amount of crud under there is incredible. it's (i'm not copy/pasting a cap 'i') almost like a felt of cat hair. With added Cheetos, obviously.

Right... of into the cupboard in search of my nasty old A1048*. Now those things really show the dirt!



* Bugger. My '8' has failed. And as a consequence so has my '*'. Obviously not a cat hair issue.

Pretty sure 'Way more power. Way same size.' was on there before. If you read the detail below, it's referring to the speed increase of previous generation dual core mac-minis.

The price increase, if true, is of note.

Was never AUD 599, surely?

 

[Miat]

Could have been $699, my eyes aren't the best.

But definitely was something 99. Not 749.

Might be just a price adjustment due to falling AUD in recent weeks. Same old Mini, at extra cost!

If so, then glad I got mine last year.

 

[squirrrl]

I feel like they are just stalling at this point. Didn't we see this Yosemite stuff six months ago?

The US store is also saying the same so it looks like we'll finally be able to close this thread. Booyah !

You people lack the power of observation. The mac mini has said "way more power, way the same size" for two years now. It's not new.
