I don't really care how they price different spec'd models, as long as desktop units are user-upgradable for both memory and storage. I thought I'd be excited

I thought I'd be excited for the Mac Mini announcement but when I heard it, I wanted to be excited but couldn't really see a use for me. If I want a beefy AI GPU machine I wouldn't buy from Apple, similarly for a gaming PC. Otherwise I'd use a MacBook or Linux desktop/server.

- saaaaaam 2y agoIf you were buying a beefy AI gpu machine today would you get? I’m in the market and because I’m quite Mac based was considering a MacBook Pro M4 Max but they are painfully expensive. So then I was considering the Mac mini as “chuck stuff at this box” but keep my existing Mac laptop. But if I’m just chucking stuff at the box it doesn’t really need to be a Mac at all…
