Maybe not everyone wants/needs to be locked into the apple Ecosystem?

- Macha 4y agoBut seriously, why do they sell the Intel Mac Mini? The Intel Mac Pro still exists because they haven't made a modular apple silicon machine and their remaining large scale video production customers would leave them if they were told just to to migrate to M1 Studio machines. I don't see a similar argument for the Mini, especially as it's still on 8th gen. I'm honestly surprised Intel is still supplying Skylake CPUs for it
- kennend3 4y agoI have the exact same thoughts as you.. While you can sort of see the Mac pro's place, the intel mini makes zero sense? Perhaps they have a warehouse of these somewhere and they are still trying to unload them? I see Intel based iMac's for sale at Costco yet they are not on Apple's site?
- washadjeffmad 4y agoI think you're right and that they're hoping to unload the last of the 2019s this Black November at a ridiculous discount (again). I think I saw a decently specced 21.5" Intel iMac going for $599 last year, although an M1 Mac Mini would still be my choice.
- GeekyBear 4y agoThe word out of the supply chain is that the Mini is due for an update when the 3nm M2 Pro ships.
