I started reading article hoping for something interesting from Apple, but then I compare Mac Mini specs to the mini-itx system I've built back in February.
- AMD Ryzen 2400g (4cores 8 threads)
- 16 GB DDR4 Ram
- 256GB M.2 Nvme
- 1TB 2.5" HDD
- I can add more memory, internal storage, and still have a spare 16xPCI slot.
This runs linux and cost less than $800 Canadian dollars all in. Not impressed.
Everything is upgradable and in a case that 3 times as big as mac one.
- yborg 8y ago>case 3x as big I don't think you are getting the whole "Mini' concept here.
- prolepunk 8y agoI do, this computer is still a lot smaller than the usual ATX tower. I've spend the whole post describing what you get in terms of price/performance when you make that trade-off.
- rrmm 8y ago3 times as big is still a comfortable size for a small pc and a small price to pay for using commodity/replaceable parts. Most of the people who might buy a mini would probably buy a mini that was 3x as big. At least for me, what I really don't want to pay for is a screen and keyboard (as I would have to pay for with an imac/macbook/etc).
