I've always loved the form factor/pricing of the Mac Mini, but I've never been able to convince myself to buy it. If you're able to afford a Macbook/MBP, is there any reason why someone would purchase the Mini? Seems like the former gets you the same performance with the benefit of portability.
- sharno 2y agoIt’s portability for a price especially if you already have your own peripherals
- rootusrootus 2y agoThe MBP is over twice as much and you're still going to buy a keyboard, mouse, and screen for your desk. Portability is nice, but for many people I suspect the use case is too narrow -- for most things you need to do when you are not at your desk computer, the smartphone suffices.
- crakhamster01 2y agoYea that's a fair point. I live in a small apt so I often find myself working anywhere other than my desk, but I imagine there's a lot of folks that prefer the niceties of a dedicated workspace (monitor, keyboard, etc).
