Looks like the Mac mini no longer has the ability to have a 10GBe Ethernet port. So, we could get 64GB of RAM and 10GBe in the last generation, and now this.

- vbezhenar 6y agoThey still sell Intel version, it's not gone. Also I think that there will be USB dongles for 10GBe Ethernet which is not as convenient, for sure, but bearable. And RAM limit is unfortunate indeed. I wouldn't buy 8GB RAM in 2020 at all and 16GB is barely enough, so this device won't last long given the lack of upgradability. Probably better RAM options will come next year.
- protomyth 6y agoWell, the current USB-C to 10GBe is a big box (about two decks of playing cards) and costs about $150. I'm a bit unhappy about it. When a community college is starting to buy all 10GBe interfaces, its about time for Apple to move on. I'm going to get two Mac minis to look at, and then wait to replace my current machine when 32 or 64 GB ARM machines are available.
