£2k seems a bit rich
I think it was in this thread, albeit some years ago, that somebody said
if you think that's a bit rich maybe you're a bit poorIn all seriousness I think it's a shame that apple became a brand that only does luxury items; macs have always been expensive, but all those iDevices (while they are really nice of course) are super expensive, and all the computers are stupid money now as well.
It's fucking ridiculous.

That somebody sounds like a twat.
It's just a mac air - I swear they used to be about 700 quid (albeit base model) but maybe I have rose tinted memory. Thanks Nigel Farage etc.
In other news, what's the thing that looks like a power supply at the back of the new mini? Aren't they powered via USB-C? And if they're powered by USB-C I wonder how much juice they need? Internal battery and I'd be sold.
Lastly:
2.9GHz 6-core 8th-generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz (15" mbp)
or
3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.6GHz (mini)
CYOA
Mini looks fun, Air seems overpriced but can't recall what previous model was priced at. But for a not even max specced one £2k seems a bit rich.
iPad Pro seems a nice update - particularly wireless charging of pencil + usbc etc.
Basically expecting a serious worthwhile (spendy) update to mac pro next year though now rather than something half arsed.
Might get a dozen minis and build a render farm :/
