The Mini hasn't been updated in 2 years, and was already slow on release. For normal users it's the better option, but if you're a developer and need to actually get something done, a hackintosh is a very attractive alternative to $4k or more for a similarly beefy iMac / Mac Pro.

- baron816 10y agoI have a mini and after upgrading to an SSD (the HDD was a terrible terrible mistake) I'm happy with it. For just coding, torrenting, and movies, it's great. Picking my own monitor was a huge plus. I went with a 34" ultra wide screen, which is perfect for coding and movies look amazing since they fill the whole screen without any letter boxing. No problems with my current setup.
- creshal 10y agoIt always depends on what you do. If you do graphic/GPGPU intensive processing, the Mini just won't cut it, and my own Go projects would need over a minute for every compile pass.
