While being externally similar to its predecessor, one of the more obvious differences lies in its Space Gray colorway, not previously offered by the Mac series. 7 Why I bought a Mac mini in 2018 Īpple Mac mini 8,1 (Late 2018) All-new Mac mini is more powerful than ever, with quad- and 6-core processors, up to 64GB of faster memory, blazing fast all-flash storage, Thunderbolt 3, Apple T2 Security Chip and a 10Gb Ethernet option.3.3 Mac mini (3.6GHz Intel Quad-Core i3, Late 2018).In effect Apple has made a thicker computer with better thermal performance, which I thought everyone had wanted, but instead of Apple getting praises for it, we get complaints of the new Mini being too costly and lacking the GPU.Īlso watching his video, I'm reminded that Marco has gotten so much at speaking to the audience since his earlier podcast days, all those ad readings definitely helped his enunciation. I personally found the NUCs have problem with thermal under heavier workloads. The thermal performance sounds really good and many will really appreciate the quietness of the machine. To me $799 actually seems reasonable even with the i3. eGPU is useful and now a realistic alternative but it's still too expensive.

However the lack of any non-integrated GPU option would turn off a lot of Windows users who may want to consider it. It's too bad the ram slots aren't completely open like the older-older model. The Mini is no longer the entry point for most people. But I think Marco is correct and Apple has consciously redesigned the Mini with the new purpose in mind. The internet commentators just regurgitate the old viewpoint of the Mini being the entry point. The whole point of the Mac Mini is to be as versatile as possible to address lots of diverse needs Marco says one line which to me is the important point: That's a good review from someone who's been actively using the Mini a lot.
