  Is this a real setup? Are there real people actually use a Mac mini with a Pro Display XDR? https://twitter.com/...

  The previous-generation Mac Mini supported up to 64GB RAM. The new one maxes out at 16GB. So, forget about running virtual machines. Or Slack and Chrome at the same time.

  Confirmed: The new Mac Mini w/ M1 chip *will not* have user upgradable RAM, unlike the previous Intel-based Mac Mini. Like iPhones and iPads, the RAM in the M1 is integrated w/ the processor on the SoC. CC @kwiens

  A viable Mac mini w/ an M1 inside, bumped RAM and 1TB SSD is now €1,465, which is about half of what I needed before to price up a competitive model to replace my iMac. 16GB of RAM is a bummer, but with the increased I/O I'm not as worried. Apple should have perf per $ charts 😂

  Mac Mini is $1099 for the mostly usable model, with 16/512.

  i wanna know who's buying a $6,000 monitor for their $600 comptuer https://twitter.com/...

  Oh man they neutered the Mini. 16GB of RAM, no 10GbE, only 2 T ports. I'm sure its fine as a test machine, but ugh.

  It's easy to forget that the Mac mini, not the MacBook Air, is the entry level Mac. Now $699.

  Mac mini! while not widely rumored, Apple had used a modified Mac mini to give developers a preview of how their apps would run on Apple silicon.

  Seeing all the ports on the Mac Mini just renews my outrage at the lack of ports on MacBooks.
