Yes I probably agree with most if not all you said. The throwaway design was more geared towards the Macs and the hardware side. Also the fact that repairs are very expensive. Former Mac Minis had great upgradability for a cheaper price. They didn't change the design so what's the reason? iPhones are worth their money, which is why I continue to buy them, but the improvements from X to XS are minuscule, compared to the price increase.
As I said I could've written a more nuanced criticism, I just wanted to point out that Gruber was too generous. I'm inclined to say he didn't do a proper job.
- scarface74 8y agoMac Minis are far more upgradable than they have ever been thanks to TB3 and USB-C. You couldn’t upgrade the graphic performance before for instance. The only things that you could upgrade before were RAM and storage. You can upgrade the RAM on the newest ones and there is no performance penalty from using an external drive with TB3 and probably not one with USBC. You can also add more higher resolution monitors.
