• i don’t care what it looks like, for me it’s a cheaper way of accessing the ram/processor i need without having to buy an imac with a shitty screen, an £8k mac pro or use a MBP as a main machine.
    it’s a £1k saving over a MBP with likely better thermal handling.
    It’s pretty much what i was hoping for apart from not having 128g ram option in the base model.

    ..yea this also makes sense to me - it probably really is just good value / performance for the money.

    I was just thinking it looks so clumsy that I'd rather hide it under the desk somewhere.
    As opposed to the majority of apple products, which I actually enjoy looking at, like the 2019 16", the macbook air, basically all the iPhones ever, etc.
    I even liked the trashcan, they dared to make a statement.

    First world problems of course..

    Is that the matched spec price diff. Not too bad value then.

    I'm still sure they could have put the base model in the mac mini box with no negative effects.
