APPLE MAC MINI 2018 REVIEWS PRO
That’s the same number found on the iMac Pro and twice as many as you get on the 2017 standard iMac. The biggest turn on the I/O side of things, however, is the inclusion of an impressive four Thunderbolt 3 ports. Though, naturally, stranger things have happened. The ability to plug in wired headphones is just too important for those creative audio pros who rely on Apple desktops and laptops to go away soon. Fingers crossed that sticks around for good. HDMI 2.0 is present here, as well, along with a headphone jack - that once-ubiquitous port, which is hanging on for dear life on the Mac line. Of course, you can also go the wireless route or invest in the inevitable adapter. Admittedly, I utilized both immediately to hardwire a keyboard and trackpad - pretty important, so far as most desktop computing is concerned.
APPLE MAC MINI 2018 REVIEWS FULL
There are two full USB 3 ports here, which is good news as far as backward compatibility with older accessories. Along with the built-in components, which bring benchmark performance levels up to somewhere around that of the last (and admittedly also overdue for an overhaul) Mac Pro, the company’s also added more user upgradability - never a given for an Apple product.Īlso notable here are the crazy number of ports available on the rear of the device. The price jump, naturally, comes with a notable spec increase, one that puts the diminutive desktop in line with a desktop ecosystem that finds Apple catering once again to its core competency of creative pros. With a $300 price bump, the latest version still represents the lowest cost path into the world of desktop Macs, but arguably removes “entry” from the equation. The $499 price tag on the 2014 model certainly highlighted this fact. The Mini has long been Apple’s entry-level desktop. In fact, the whole of the company’s desktop line has clearly gotten a rethink over the course of the last year, including the addition of the iMac Pro, and the still MIA Mac Pro. Among other things, that gap gives us a good occasion to reconsider the Mac Mini’s place in the Apple ecosystem and the computing world at large.
