I am hoping for a macmini refresh...
- tomschlick 12y agoChances are high it will happen. Its been way longer than normal for the refresh.
- cstrat 12y agothats what I am hoping for. its been AGES. mine is from 2011, still a great device. It will get converted into my media centre if I can upgrade.
- mitchty 12y agoI'd want to wait personally till the next intel chipsets to be honest. A new haswell isn't all that intriguing. So I have mine with dual 1tb drives in a software raid setup, i'm curious what the mini needs for media centerish stuff? I have mine hooked up to my tv and it does the trick quite well. Just plop a full screen chrome window up and I can watch netflix/prime streaming/whatever. Can't really play games with it but eh, it plays things like the stanley parable well enough.
- cstrat 12y agoI have a decent NAS - Netgear ReadyNAS4000 (i think thats the one). 4 x 2TB drives in there gets me 6TB of space. Plex is amazing, I used to use it on my TV through my macbook, but that wasn't powerful enough for the latest and greatest movies. Anyway, didn't see the news I was hoping for today :(
- justincormack 12y agoWhat with? I don't think there are significantly faster CPUs available. They could switch to the 8 core Atoms (20W), but peak single thread speed is slower. They could switch to Arm64, but they will probably do that on a laptop-like machine first probably.
- cstrat 12y agobetter GFX. I have one on my desk and would love to be able to play games... Don't want an iMac, don't need a MacPro, already have a macbook from 2008 which does its job...
