    2012 Mac mini is still kicking ass. 799 for the hardware and OS is right in line with every other SFF pc packing that hardware. Plus no bloatwear and no windows 10.

    I thought this was a joke. I didn't know that they were coming out with a new model (frankly don't pay a lot of attention to them, but I support about 25 of them at work.) . $799 for the BASE MODEL???? That used to be almost what the top of the line version was just a couple of years ago. Thanks for the new USB-C ports Apple, but I think I'll pass.

    They haven't made a Mac Mini with specs that good in years, the new ones are sub-basement stripped models.

    The Minis were definitely neglected for 4 years. Ticked a lot of people off. The Mac Mini is still one of the best deals going though.
