The new Mac mini is almost certainly coming

I already solved my problem: I moved to the competition and I keep using my 2010 Mac mini.

I was waiting for a Mac mini update, hoping to get a better GPU for games. I was tired of waiting, so I just built a low-end gaming PC.

The net result is that my current 2010 Mac mini is more than enough as a work computer (Web development) and my low-end gaming PC, which I can upgrade piece by piece, cost me half of a new Mac mini because I was able to get all the parts on sale and I was able to re-use a power supply and PC tower I already had.

But man, that PC sure is huge compared to my Mac mini. If anyone is considering building a gaming PC, I'll just say two things: mini-ITX and Cooler Master: Elite 110.

I totally agree as I will keep my current Mini to stay in the Apple eco system with my iPad and Phone but when it comes time for the 4k move I may just go with a NUC or BRIX with Broadwell or Skylake depending on timing as a HTPC and run either Linux or Win9 on it.
But then again the new Mini if and when it comes may surprise me. :)

Agreed. Different jobs require different tools. A 3D printer, CNC mill and laser cutter are all useful, and so are OS X, Windows and Linux.

But just like I wouldn't want to 3D print a keyboard, I wouldn't want to work with Windows. ;)
 
I want a new computer. I've been waiting for six months now to buy a Mini. It's sad that my iPad can do so many things faster than my 2010 white MacBook and 2008 black MacBook.

MicroCenters $549 price tag is looking so good.

You could do like many others and buy the current Mini….. it is far from obsolete, and should be good for a good few years.

Today being Tuesday, anything, or nothing could happen.

It's totally this guys. Lol! Just stick the Mac Pro in a compacter and out comes the new Mini. Ships with Yosemite, has Broadwell and the new Iris pro. PCIe SSD's and user upgradable RAM.

Seriously though, I've been holding off for a while, even bought a 2010 MBP late last year in the meantime to take over from my 2008 MacBook. It's an improvement, but I'll be moving later this year/early next year, and would love to get a new desk and a new Mac to go with it.

I want this today! (But I can wait until next week if I have to.)

Doesn't mean anything. New Mac minis will be introduced in september/october. If not, than it will slip to next year ... or it will be cancelled.

It's a sign that there've been no Mac minis in the uk refurb store for three days.

Or it will be renamed the Mac Shatner, be coated in glow-in-the-dark paint, roughly the size of a deck of cards, and come out the day after tomorrow.

Not saying it's likely, but if we're going to speculate, we should make sure *all* the bases are covered.
 
It's Tuesday! Is it here yet?
It's Tuesday, a brand-new Tuesday and the new Mac mini is almost certainly here, is it not?
Or, wait, maybe it's the wrong Tuesday, yes, that's right. Next Tuesday, then the new Mac mini will almost certainly be here, won't it?
Won't it?
Won't it?
 
I read a rumor back in May that Brian will guarantee Broadwell by Q4 of '14.

Perhaps we will see a refresh by then?

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned already; I don't have the time to read 90 pages.

.oO(wow, really? 90 pages?)
 
So Haswell update when they run out of the chips they currently use or around when Mavericks comes out or nothing for quite a while.
 
Can you imagine a day without a new post in this thread? Fortunately, that is about as likely as the new Mac mini being almost certainly here. Sorry, I mean, Here!
 
I really hope that they were intending to refresh with the original Intel timeline, and there's daily phone calls being made to Intel featuring suitable abuse on my behalf...
