I feel that at least 80% of Mac Mini sales are for server. Why would people buy that over the iMac for daily use?

- kstrauser 7y agoNote that "server" is a role you might use a Mini for, but "Server" in the article's title is a specific software package. You can have a server not running Server. Also, I bought a Mini for my desktop because it's tiny, cheap, and powerful, and I can use my own screens.
- chipotle_coyote 7y agoAt least a decade ago, it wasn't that uncommon for me to see Mac minis kicking around as "office worker" desktops in places that gave developers Mac laptops. Get one of those, bring your own cheaper display, plug in a wired keyboard, and go. My suspicion is that "cheap desktop" has always accounted for more Mac mini sales than it's usually given credit for.
