Anyone else tempted to pick up a new Mac Mini?  Even the base model is supposed to be great.  Pre-orders start tomorrow.

Since I have an M2 the jump is not great for me, for others with slower Mac’s it’s a better choice.

I upgraded from an Intel mini to the M2 not long ago, so I'll sit this one out.

 

Good that the microphone jack and a couple of USB-C ports have been moved to the front. No SD card reader, though.

I actually don't need it, it just seems tempting. I already have a newer MacBook Air with the M3 chip, and two IPad Pros. I'll probably wait for a few weeks to see what kind of bugs turn up, if any. 

My new Mac mini arrived today, a day early.

 

The initial setup was a breeze, but it took me a while to fine tune it.  Sort of aggravating.  Apple keeps changing things around in the settings menu.  Anyway, it's amazing what they can pack into such a small computer.
