Apple online store is blocking purchase of all laptops and desktops this morning.

Apple online store is blocking purchase of all laptops and desktops this morning.
I used mine as my daily computer for a year until I was able to buy the 2015 15" MBP last June. Since then, my 2012 i7 has been used strictly as an iTunes server even though I upgraded the ram to 16GB. I still have the original 1TB HD in there. I have no plans to add an SSD.I still think Mac minis make great servers, at least they used to. I've run everything from media servers to game servers to smart homes on them. I've never actually used one as a personal desktop computer.

Maybe at least we'll see a price drop on the existing Mini's (while they last?)…

I just don't see a laptop in my studio or media room no matter how cool the MB Pro is ... and yeah it's hot .. but my studio desk top is hotter than that and all that lovely screen going to waste as it would surely be closed once upon my studio desk.
I feel disrespected enough to consider other options once my 3 Mini's bite the dust.
Putting on my optimistic hat...I mean not to even mention desktops is like
