Apple reportedly plans updated M4 Mac mini that’s actually mini
What was "mini" in 2010 is not particularly mini in 2024.
You're viewing a single thread.
On what situation do people buy this over a macbook? When they absolutely need an ethernet port?
I already have a screen and keyboard and mouse and a desk and I don't care about it being portable (so don't need a battery). So I don't want to pay for what I already have or don't need.
Plus I need use those things for the Windows laptop that work gives me when I'm working at home.
If I needed portability, then yeah, sure Macbook makes more sense. But the desktop isn't dead just yet.
I'm not super bothered about it being smaller, it's quite small already, although I understand the current gen has a lot of empty space inside the case, so I guess it makes sense to make it smaller and it gives the marketing team something to talk about.
Cheaper?
But you need to buy a monitor keyboard and mouse
You say that like it’s not compatible with the ones people already have.
Still can put together a cheaper setup than a MacBook. And people have their own already as the other person said.
