A "Mini Pro" is what I've been wanting from Apple forever (in tech years). Just a small tower with room for a graphics card and two or three SSD/NVMe drives. I'd be fine with paying Apple's customary 100+% hardware premium for something like that.
- ghostbrainalpha 7y agoThat's exactly what I want to. Is there a Mini Pc that would be similar to this now?
- moondev 7y agoYou can do all that now with the mini, it has 4 thunderbolt ports.

- moondev 7y agoI guess it depends on the width you need. Indeed you won't be able to run x16 or x8 but x4 is possible which is enough for full-speed nvme or dual 10GbE
- WaltPurvis 7y agoI thought it was pretty clear I was talking about something much different from hanging multiple external devices off the back of a Mini.
