The price was an issue. Not being fanless was another issue. So mac mini is the "best nuc" available.

- kjkjadksj 3y agoIs there a mac mini model that hits a sweet spot on price and performance? I’d love to run a little cluster of mac minis. Maybe one of the intel ones so you could just throw on linux and something like slurm or pbs?
- sixothree 3y agoZero expandability makes it a nope for me.
- jwells89 3y agoDepending on situation, the way NUCs typically needed external power bricks also made them less attractive. Mac minis aren't as small no, but the size difference for having the PSU be internal is minimal and it eases power strip woes.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoPrice aside, the power brick was always a huge annoyance that kept me from getting one. Now that usbc gan chargers can hit 100W, I keep hoping for a mini pc option that runs a ~65W class CPU with integrated GPU on a non proprietary charger.
- plagiarist 3y agoThis would be incredible. Multiple USB-C ports would be nice as well.
- diffeomorphism 3y agoThat exists and is common, e.g. the usual chinese brands (minisforum, beelink,....) have usb c pd in.
