I need to buy a new Mac

[AlGrenadine]

That sounds like them saying they don't want to make mac minis anymore

No, they just sound like they want to make more money than ever, as usual...

They also have 4 and 6 core processors.

Today, Apple unveiled a new mac mini, ipad pro and new macbook air.

Yes, that's what i mentionned upper ;=)

 

[MSS]

Yes, that's what i mentionned upper ;=)

You beat me to it lol.

FYI - I configured a new Mac Mini on the site w/ the top processor, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, etc. and it was around $2500. Can go up more with more RAM and SSD.

Not the CPU i guess ?

 

[Sustainerplayer]

Looking forward to see the benchmarks on these.

Nope - that's probably soldered.

Ok Apple announced new mac minis : 8GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, core i3 => $799

...lol
Ok i keep my €350 500 GB SSD core i5 8GB ram...

Thing is ... the new i3 is a desktop quadcore - with around the same performance as the 2012 i7 quadcore I have. It will run rings around your 2 core i5.

Yes probably, but it still doesn't get me wanting one for that price...

It is Apple so ...

But there will be loads of 2012 i7 for sale on the used market you can pick up at cheap prices now.

2014 ones, no ?

You can get a well configured mini for $1499 usd. 1T of ssd drive adds $600. Most use external storage for video editing etc. You are not going to be doing a lot of Final Cut work without a better gpu anyways. I think the new minis are bargains.

No - the 2012 i7 quad is a lot more powerfull than the 2014 models (in multicore performance obviously).

For that there is the optional eGPU ... and:



Not too shabby ...
