Nope. Better than the 2014 model at least. Cant get everything you want but the 2018 mini has been widely accepted as a very worthy update. It was super easy to upgrade the RAM in mine to 32GB.
I really don't mind Linus talking about his sponsors like this. These type of ads are less annoying than the TH-cam ads themselves. And if they would annoy me, I could always skip them (which I usually don't feel the need to).
Yeah, for some reason linus is the only youtuber where i don't skip the ads in the video because they're usually short and sometimes funny in a weird way.
I might skip the ads, but I appreciate that they aren't painful to watch and full of deception. Linus seems to just show some honest appreciation for his sponsors, and they deserve that.

StorybookBus03 lmao I like the iPhones but the computers apple makes just r so overpriced, like $800 for 128gb is bs, u cant do shit with 128gb. The only thing good about apple commuters r the reliability.
@KingShoter007 cheap doesn't equal value. There are much cheaper devices with better specs. I'm watching this on a $200 phone with a better display than the iPhone XR, my Redmi Note 5.
iPhone SE is kind of unbeatable in price/value ratio for its $250 price tag (only Pocophone F1 comes close, but imho SE is a still a better value overall through its optimization, software support etc.). So long story short - reasonably priced Apple products exist, there just isn't a whole lot of them :)
As a mobile app developer, I need to have mac hardware to build iOS apps. I have a custom built 8700k desktop, but needed a mac for building iOS apps. So I grabbed the new i5 mac mini. Works extremely well for my use case without having to buy a 2k+ macbook pro. I only use it really as a server, so I don't really care too much about the gpu piece of it. I just want it decently fast to compile code, and it does that well! We have a couple 2012 i5 dual core mac mini's at work we use for servers, and this new one is ridiculously better.
I'm still using the late 2012 mac mini with my own ssd, works perfect for iOS and Web Dev. I'll be upgrading to the new one shortly, they're great for developers.
Finally a developer's opinion around here :D. I'm looking forward to buy one for the same reason, and even that a Macbook Pro Retina Display is awesome to use, a more powerful hardware with a "bunch of savings" in exchange for the lack of a gourmet screen IS the big deal for developers. Buying Mac Mini, a good mid-entry monitor, and ergonomic pheripherials, can worth it for an office enviroment without spending almost the same on a worse macbook pro and having those thermal issues in exchange for a "awesome user experience".

@@hello_b well, to be fair, you *can* run macOS on the vast majority of PCs, and with a bit of tweaking and some mediocre/basic technical knowhow, you can make it work perfectly. I still have my old PC that I turned into a Hackintosh sometime around El Capitan, and it runs stuff flawlessly, full integration with Apple services, great speed, etc, which I built for comparatively far cheaper than the roughly equivalent Mac models available at the time.
He sometimes makes valid points but you can easily tell when he's grasping at straws if he doesn't have enough content. A good example is his Battlefield 5 review.
@Johnathan Bieß - That's _one_ type of memory called "RAM". There is another type of memory called "ROM" (Read-Only Memory) and another called Flash Memory. Ever played a cartridge-based game? The games are stored on ROMs; which is why that term is used for game files used for emulators. Ever used a Compact-flash or SD card? That's using Flash memory to store the files. USB storage devices also use Flash memory for the storage of files. See how people ended up using "memory" to say "storage space", now? Lol! Memory is a medium of storage just like optical discs and HDD. Solid State Drives are utilizing Flash memory as well.
I think his point was that they used RAM they just had as opposed to having to buy special Mac RAM. I believe Macs used to be particular about the types of RAM even though it shouldn't make much difference. But, you are correct in that we all don't have gobs of RAM just lying about. :)
He says that 8gb is not enough. I disagree I use 8 for gaming in my desktop with chrome in the background and have little trouble. Maybe in a couple years I might get 16gb but yeah.
10 years ago, I installed Ubuntu on my Macbook without any issues, and it even worked almost out of the box. Now, they made it impossible :( I know that you don't buy a Mac to install Linux on it, but still, it's annoying if a choice is taken from you.
I have an HP EliteBook that *could* run Windows 10, but I don't trust it to run amazingly well. Linux Mint runs smooth on it and I can run Chrome and Spotify without much trouble. Macs will eventually lose support, and the T2 chip will prevent someone to use a different OS for up-to-date security.
@@narwhal4304 Precisely. *Now* I'm typing on an iMac which Apple no longer supports, happily running Debian. Since my original comment a year ago, my (at the time) beloved MacBook Air got baptized in tea, and joined the choir invisible. I now don't have any machines not running linux, except for one little old macbook on the side which I use just for iMessage and archiving messages from my iPhone. I'm stuck on iPhone until KDE is mature on the Pine64 Pinephone. Then I'm done with crApple. 30 years a fanboi, gone forever.
@@steingat Since all Apple computers come with SSDs, this isn't much of an issue. For my use case though, upping the internal to SSD was really just for fun, since I barely use it. Everything other than the OS and a few choice programs go on my external 50TB array. The mini makes for a great plex server that can sit right next to the TV.
My parents have a 2011 iMac that shipped with 4GB DDR3 and a pathetically slow 1TB hard drive. We just upgraded to a 1TB Samsung SSD, 32GB DDR3, and replaced the SuperDrive with a 4TB hard drive for files and backups. Additionally, we installed a Core i7 into the machine to replace the previous Quad core i5. Their iMac is a blazing beast now, TBH I'm kinda jealous :O
Sam Jackson I bought a late-2008 iMac from ebay for 70€. Upgraded the 250Gb hdd with a 512Gb ssd, replaced the original 2gb of ram by 6, and installed macos Mojave. After all these years, the core2-duo old lady is still flying :)
@@idkwuisp7626 My parents do hobby photography, and also don't close ANY tabs. They use around 25GB RAM with all their editing/adjusting apps open and multiple browsers with ~10 tabs each.
The Mac mini used to be an entry level computer for transitioning from windows. With this generation, it’s a prosumer machine/ home server with cluster computing easily possible.
@@davyrando1203 I hate OSX. And Apple for that matter. Their business practices and the way they trap their consumers. Its effective and brilliant. But I won't lie, they make some pretty sexy hardware, and I wish I can buy and be able to install any OS I want.
They're not blocking third party OS's, they're blocking messing with the internal drive. People who have valuable IP to protect will value this very highly.
@@mahiru20ten who cares about users? more upgradability means more compatibility issues, less user controllability and less income. besides its a lot easier for the company just to swap out the whole motherboard rather then searching for the problem and replacing only the broken part.
I thinks its held hostage because the T2 chip encrypts automatically on the fly, So if you can't access your T2 chip your data will be gone unless you have backed up.
@@IpelengMotsatsi There is no way to access the data on that mac if the machine is not booted up and the usb or ethernet are working, if the machine breaks for some reason your data is gone, even if the t2 wasn't there, the nand chips and controller are directly soldered on the motherboard, de-soldering nand chips might be possible but it also corrupts the memory (and would require using the nand's manufacturer flash program to be run on it to even work again, which would completely destroy the data, this just assumes that you also managed to move the controller, and were able to relocate all the nand chips, sometimes you even require to run a separate flash process outside the machine with a special piece of hardware). So yes, if you overcome the hardest part that is to de-solder nand and reflash it, and re-solder it into a mac without ruining everything, then the t2 might be an issue, but i don't see a point in calling t2 an issue when there are ssd soldered macs without t2 with no motherboard port to recover the info and well the info is gone.
@@mahiru20ten apple is a high volume customer, they get that sort of stuff for dirty cheap, in their eyes, they are hindering the chances of refurbishers "stealing potential market on the long run" as well as reducing a ton of variables and controlling repair, so in their eyes, is totally worth it. Also the difference on the rates would mean that paying an us worker to fix a machine locally would be more expensive on the long run than actually doing this sort of crap.
One of my favorite "features" of this computer is NO WALL WART! Yessiree, Apple has found a way to install the unit's power supply INSIDE the mini. That's a big deal for me.
The promo code tells Mack Weldon to send you underwear that has been pre-worn by Linus. Instead of fresh clean underwear you'll receive, at no extra cost, crusty jocks worn by Linus.
I would rather use a Raspberry Pi as a desktop than ever use another Mac product. I used to be a fan (my last was a G4 tower), but being able to replace components is critical, and I don't like being held hostage by a crappy company.
@@Hypoflex A Pi goes for something like $50 or so, depending on what you get- components can be switched in and out till you wear out the connections, or yourself, and not once will the whole thing cost upwards of $800+, because of a proprietary, BS chip that has been inserted to make you go their route and their charging scale if something breaks.
Every try running image editing (i.e., Photoshop), 3D modeling/rendering, audio/video compositing, etc., applications in 1GB RAM? I love my Raspberry (& other) Pies but you can't really compare Apples & Raspberries. However, comparing an Apple (Mac) to an Orange (Pi) shows some promise.
This title is in the gray area of click bait. The first thing I taught was oww the mac mini is not worth it and its bad! But apple killed only the original size of mac mini...
When comparing the the MAC to a similarly priced PC, did you include the added cost of the 32GB ram upgrade over the base 8GB that initially came with the system?
It's probably balanced out by the fact that a licence for Windows 10 is never included in the cost of building a Windows PC. I'm doing the costing right now and that 30% "Apple Tax" that everyone scoffs at, quickly gets chipped away when I have to add a full Windows 10 licence and an anti-virus subscription to the build.
@@stroym Is it possible to move an OEM licence to another PC? I tried years back when I had a Windows XP computer stolen. I had a replacement PC built for me, but when I tried to install Windows from my hologrammed CD, I was told the version I had was intended for another computer and couldn't be installed on the new one. Has this now changed with Windows 10?
Windows Defender performs perfectly fine (one of the good things, on W10) and even if your want additional protection, there's tons of decent, free anti-virus/malware protection software, out there anyway (even some of the brand names, do a free basic version). Plus, If for some reason, you haven't already got a transferable W10 key (or a old W7/W8 key), license keys are currently relatively cheap, on Amazon.
@@RobCarter04 Not really, the simple fact that any project will consist of multiple instrument/effect VSTs means that they'll span across your threads as any group of programs will, even if every instrument is single-threaded (which they mostly are).
Wish they went with one of Intels G packages with Vega on an EMIB. You'd have to trade off some CPU wattage but 30+30W would be a more well rounded system for GPU performance. Since they're already using 65W parts this seemed ripe for that package, surprised Apple never went for it.
@@Sparrowc83 It's been in partner laptops, as mentioned. When I first read about the part I was so sure it would have been Apple that pushed for it being made, but they never used it, strange.
An Apple computer under a 1000 bucks tho, that's more like it. If only they would make an Apple in a normal form factor that is a little bit more affordable I could look into NOT dealing with Windows audio drivers as a music producer.
The prior model started out with at $499.00 base price. Does everyone realized that Apple uses mostly "off the shelf" hardware in their systems, the same RAM, same CPUs etc., they just charge more for it.
3:30 Having been a Windows fanboy most of my life, I bought a 2012 Macbook Pro and gave it an ssd and 12gb of ram. It's now my daily driver. The OS is much more efficient than Windows in the work-flow, largely achieved by gestures.
Really, I just come here for the comments to see all the butt hurt going around. :) If this thing doesn't sell, maybe, just maybe Apple will get the point and work on something better. But for the individuals that this product seems to be targeting, I sure have seen a lot of people with this new Mac Mini's. For simple use, yes it is a bit pricey, but tends to fall into what people are looking for in terms of ease of use and just "works". As long as that keeps going on, Apple will keep many of these devices around to cover this area at this price point. I am not defending or complaining about what they are doing. I and highly integrated in the apple ecosystem and MS. I see the worth in both, just don't see the point of shitting on everything that you may not totally agree with. That has got to be one miserable life to live. Its simple, if its not your cup of tea.... move on and you don't need to tell everyone about it. So much of the input from people is just trash and useless arguments. Social media has really overinflated peoples perception of their worth I tell you.
If it doesn't sell well that will be because of people going around saying a thousand bucks is too much money for an awesome little device. Meanwhile the same kartoffel-kopfen own a smart phone that costs a thousand bucks but nobody says boo about that.
@@Orbit_Corona to be honest, I'm waiting for apple to stop making computers and just say they are a luxury phone/gadget company. They just aren't trying hard enough with their computers anymore. My brother use to work for Apple when Steve Jobs was around. Around a year after he passed, the internal company structure was changing so much that it was forcing a lot of the better people out. My brother was hired as QC for a bunch of stuff and he ended up doing a lot of the actual coding instead of just testing as he ran 90 hour weeks because most of the people on his team left. Then he left too, cause he was medically falling apart from the work, California sucks and he didn't like the direction the company was going.. Ramble over.... tmi added for an old video lol
Plenty of people are still shocked at how small the Mini is when they see my Late 2012 model, despite how many machines I’ve seen that are even smaller. It’s actually big enough that I can set a monitor on top though!
You should mention its complete, dead silent operation. I've never had a computer this quiet. Even when I'm pushing it to its limit, the new Mac mini makes no noise at all. You can't even tell it's on if the screen is off.
TransNigr Palpatine I was more hoping of a option of one for not that much more expensive then the normal one, basically a Mac mini S kinda, so group a could have the extra power and group B could be people like you
4:08 Why did they make harder to open the Mac Mini this time? In the 2011 model you just had to rotate the plastic lid to open it, just like a jar of jam. In this 2018 version you have to use some tool to force the lid out, which will probably scare some users away from upgrading their machine at home instead of at an Apple store at a premium. Plus now opening the Mac Mini like this will probably void the warranty, while with the old model opening the lid wasn't an issue for the warranty, since opening the lid was something expected by Apple (the lid actually had markings indicating this, so it was something that Apple used to let users do)
one thing I always have to give credit to apple. Their products look extremely good even on the inside (especially all the Mac products). It's so strange that they don't want you to open them but care so much about what they look so sexy on the inside.
Keep in mind that tinkering around in the old Classic Macs could literally KILL people, so Apple's adversion to people tinkering on the inside is learned early on.
The lack of dedicated GPU is the biggest problem with this machine. Severely limits the potential of what it can do. Or maybe rather it just severely cuts out anything gaming related or 3D render related, which isn't the average consumer after all. Still, there is no upgrade option to add it even, which makes it suck.
their target market are pretty much production houses (who maintain their own screens) and iOS developers (who literally just need a mac to compile their software because apple) so I don't really see the most pressing need for a GPU. And you can add a GPU to it with a thunderbolt box.
@@xureality Adding it externally is quite irrelevant. You can, but at an extremely higher cost and downgrade of form factor. And as I said, the average consumer probably don't need too much GPU power, but that doesn't change the fact that this severely limits the possible use of this device. Not everything needs to be a "super extreme gamer rig", but not even having a weak dedicated GPU is quite jarring, as even a weak GPU would outperform the integrated GPU by several times.
The Mini is so small that adding an external GPU + SSD + even a freaking Noctua fan would still make a smaller-than-desktop PC, so no I don't see any issues with external upgrading a mac mini compared to any PC.
@@EbrahimSaadawii Ok, then go ahead and do that lol. And it's irrelevant if you think it's ok to cash out even more for what a lot of people think should be part of the package, as outlined in the video as well due to it's lackluster GPU performance. Had it been cheaper and same price level as it previously were, it could be more justifiable. Not to mention the "you can just buy external"-excuse doesn't really cover the lack of ability to even upgrading to add it.
I wonder why my 6 core Mini with only 8gb of RAM plays games so well with decent graphics settings.. . I never would have guessed my little power house can't run a video game.

Picked up an old late 2012 Mac Mini for $270 USD; about the same price as a Google Chromebox. Came with 8-GB of RAM, a 128-GB SSD, and a dual-core 2.6GHz main processor; similar to the new $799+tax model. I realize it is an old system, but considering I only need it for iMessage, it gets the job done. I must say I hate MacOS and the Apple ecosystem, but I am grateful that the Mac MIni exists -- it's a comfortable and easy method for a PC user to visit that ecosystem as needed. Even supports TeamViewer-- so I never even need to leave my Desktop PC!
I'd suggest using Anydesk instead of TeamViewer and while you're at it, you could activate screen sharing in macOS and connect to the Mac's IP address by VNC.

That's using Flash memory to store the files. USB storage devices also use Flash memory for the storage of files. See how people ended up using "memory" to say "storage space", now? Lol!
Memory is a medium of storage just like optical discs and HDD. Solid State Drives are utilizing Flash memory as well.

10 years ago, I installed Ubuntu on my Macbook without any issues, and it even worked almost out of the box. Now, they made it impossible :( I know that you don't buy a Mac to install Linux on it, but still, it's annoying if a choice is taken from you.

I'm not a fan of Windows, either, but there's an excellent third choice: Linux!
(typing this on my iMac running Debian)
I have an HP EliteBook that *could* run Windows 10, but I don't trust it to run amazingly well. Linux Mint runs smooth on it and I can run Chrome and Spotify without much trouble.
Macs will eventually lose support, and the T2 chip will prevent someone to use a different OS for up-to-date security.

I'm still rocking a Mac mini from 2012 and have no complaints whatsoever, I recently updated the ram to 16gb and installed a 2tb ssd
Noice!
My 2012 mini is still chugging along nicely as my Plex server with similar upgrades. I expect it to last at least another 6 years.
And this is why Apple now soldiers the SSD to the MB
@@steingat Since all Apple computers come with SSDs, this isn't much of an issue. For my use case though, upping the internal to SSD was really just for fun, since I barely use it. Everything other than the OS and a few choice programs go on my external 50TB array. The mini makes for a great plex server that can sit right next to the TV.

Storage is not held hostage by the t2 chip itself, is held hostage by the fact that is soldered into the motherboard.
Wonder why companies solder things to the mobo. Won't that make repairs or replacing things harder when users have to eventually service them?
@@mahiru20ten who cares about users? more upgradability means more compatibility issues, less user controllability and less income. besides its a lot easier for the company just to swap out the whole motherboard rather then searching for the problem and replacing only the broken part.
I thinks its held hostage because the T2 chip encrypts automatically on the fly, So if you can't access your T2 chip your data will be gone unless you have backed up.
@@IpelengMotsatsi There is no way to access the data on that mac if the machine is not booted up and the usb or ethernet are working, if the machine breaks for some reason your data is gone, even if the t2 wasn't there, the nand chips and controller are directly soldered on the motherboard, de-soldering nand chips might be possible but it also corrupts the memory (and would require using the nand's manufacturer flash program to be run on it to even work again, which would completely destroy the data, this just assumes that you also managed to move the controller, and were able to relocate all the nand chips, sometimes you even require to run a separate flash process outside the machine with a special piece of hardware). So yes, if you overcome the hardest part that is to de-solder nand and reflash it, and re-solder it into a mac without ruining everything, then the t2 might be an issue, but i don't see a point in calling t2 an issue when there are ssd soldered macs without t2 with no motherboard port to recover the info and well the info is gone.
@@mahiru20ten apple is a high volume customer, they get that sort of stuff for dirty cheap, in their eyes, they are hindering the chances of refurbishers "stealing potential market on the long run" as well as reducing a ton of variables and controlling repair, so in their eyes, is totally worth it. Also the difference on the rates would mean that paying an us worker to fix a machine locally would be more expensive on the long run than actually doing this sort of crap.
One of my favorite "features" of this computer is NO WALL WART! Yessiree, Apple has found a way to install the unit's power supply INSIDE the mini. That's a big deal for me.

I would rather use a Raspberry Pi as a desktop than ever use another Mac product. I used to be a fan (my last was a G4 tower), but being able to replace components is critical, and I don't like being held hostage by a crappy company.
Agreed. I will gladly take repairability and upgradeability over a shiny aluminum casing any day. I also like saving several hundred dollars.
They're also not RGB.
calling replace components critical and still picking a raspberry over a mac??? wut.... you're confusing
@@Hypoflex A Pi goes for something like $50 or so, depending on what you get- components can be switched in and out till you wear out the connections, or yourself, and not once will the whole thing cost upwards of $800+, because of a proprietary, BS chip that has been inserted to make you go their route and their charging scale if something breaks.
Every try running image editing (i.e., Photoshop), 3D modeling/rendering, audio/video compositing, etc., applications in 1GB RAM? I love my Raspberry (& other) Pies but you can't really compare Apples & Raspberries. However, comparing an Apple (Mac) to an Orange (Pi) shows some promise.

I really like using Mac OS for work and Windows OS for gaming
When comparing the the MAC to a similarly priced PC, did you include the added cost of the 32GB ram upgrade over the base 8GB that initially came with the system?
It's probably balanced out by the fact that a licence for Windows 10 is never included in the cost of building a Windows PC. I'm doing the costing right now and that 30% "Apple Tax" that everyone scoffs at, quickly gets chipped away when I have to add a full Windows 10 licence and an anti-virus subscription to the build.

At 2:06 of the clip; my heart stopped even though I know nothing is in that box!
Wish they went with one of Intels G packages with Vega on an EMIB. You'd have to trade off some CPU wattage but 30+30W would be a more well rounded system for GPU performance. Since they're already using 65W parts this seemed ripe for that package, surprised Apple never went for it.
Especially considering MacOS preferring AMD graphics, this seems like a no-brainer. Maybe Intel made it Nuc-only since they co-developed it with AMD?

Really, I just come here for the comments to see all the butt hurt going around. :)
If this thing doesn't sell, maybe, just maybe Apple will get the point and work on something better. But for the individuals that this product seems to be targeting, I sure have seen a lot of people with this new Mac Mini's. For simple use, yes it is a bit pricey, but tends to fall into what people are looking for in terms of ease of use and just "works". As long as that keeps going on, Apple will keep many of these devices around to cover this area at this price point.
I am not defending or complaining about what they are doing. I and highly integrated in the apple ecosystem and MS. I see the worth in both, just don't see the point of shitting on everything that you may not totally agree with. That has got to be one miserable life to live.
Its simple, if its not your cup of tea.... move on and you don't need to tell everyone about it. So much of the input from people is just trash and useless arguments. Social media has really overinflated peoples perception of their worth I tell you.
If it doesn't sell well that will be because of people going around saying a thousand bucks is too much money for an awesome little device. Meanwhile the same kartoffel-kopfen own a smart phone that costs a thousand bucks but nobody says boo about that.

My brother use to work for Apple when Steve Jobs was around. Around a year after he passed, the internal company structure was changing so much that it was forcing a lot of the better people out. My brother was hired as QC for a bunch of stuff and he ended up doing a lot of the actual coding instead of just testing as he ran 90 hour weeks because most of the people on his team left. Then he left too, cause he was medically falling apart from the work, California sucks and he didn't like the direction the company was going..

Sneaky Linus putting in a floatplane benchmark
I wish they would have just added a gpu and made it a bit bigger or like higher end laptop chips
I'm glad they didn't. Not everyone needs a GPU and that would just add unnecessary cost, power and size. If you want a GPU get a dock.
TransNigr Palpatine I was more hoping of a option of one for not that much more expensive then the normal one, basically a Mac mini S kinda, so group a could have the extra power and group B could be people like you
4:08 Why did they make harder to open the Mac Mini this time? In the 2011 model you just had to rotate the plastic lid to open it, just like a jar of jam. In this 2018 version you have to use some tool to force the lid out, which will probably scare some users away from upgrading their machine at home instead of at an Apple store at a premium. Plus now opening the Mac Mini like this will probably void the warranty, while with the old model opening the lid wasn't an issue for the warranty, since opening the lid was something expected by Apple (the lid actually had markings indicating this, so it was something that Apple used to let users do)
one thing I always have to give credit to apple. Their products look extremely good even on the inside (especially all the Mac products). It's so strange that they don't want you to open them but care so much about what they look so sexy on the inside.
Keep in mind that tinkering around in the old Classic Macs could literally KILL people, so Apple's adversion to people tinkering on the inside is learned early on.
The lack of dedicated GPU is the biggest problem with this machine. Severely limits the potential of what it can do. Or maybe rather it just severely cuts out anything gaming related or 3D render related, which isn't the average consumer after all. Still, there is no upgrade option to add it even, which makes it suck.
their target market are pretty much production houses (who maintain their own screens) and iOS developers (who literally just need a mac to compile their software because apple) so I don't really see the most pressing need for a GPU.
And you can add a GPU to it with a thunderbolt box.
@@xureality Adding it externally is quite irrelevant. You can, but at an extremely higher cost and downgrade of form factor. And as I said, the average consumer probably don't need too much GPU power, but that doesn't change the fact that this severely limits the possible use of this device. Not everything needs to be a "super extreme gamer rig", but not even having a weak dedicated GPU is quite jarring, as even a weak GPU would outperform the integrated GPU by several times.
The Mini is so small that adding an external GPU + SSD + even a freaking Noctua fan would still make a smaller-than-desktop PC, so no I don't see any issues with external upgrading a mac mini compared to any PC.
@@EbrahimSaadawii Ok, then go ahead and do that lol. And it's irrelevant if you think it's ok to cash out even more for what a lot of people think should be part of the package, as outlined in the video as well due to it's lackluster GPU performance. Had it been cheaper and same price level as it previously were, it could be more justifiable. Not to mention the "you can just buy external"-excuse doesn't really cover the lack of ability to even upgrading to add it.

Picked up an old late 2012 Mac Mini for $270 USD; about the same price as a Google Chromebox. Came with 8-GB of RAM, a 128-GB SSD, and a dual-core 2.6GHz main processor; similar to the new $799+tax model. I realize it is an old system, but considering I only need it for iMessage, it gets the job done. I must say I hate MacOS and the Apple ecosystem, but I am grateful that the Mac MIni exists -- it's a comfortable and easy method for a PC user to visit that ecosystem as needed. Even supports TeamViewer-- so I never even need to leave my Desktop PC!
