When it's generation-over-four-generation, it's. That's can be useful and important when it's generation-over-generation. I'm not going to waste any time on how much faster the new Mac mini is compared to the previous one. Including the upcoming Apple Pro Display the company has teased for 2019. You can hook it up just as easily to any keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and display - over Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, or HDMI - that you like. The beauty of the Mac mini, though, is that you don't have to use anything Apple sells. (I vastly prefer the trackpad to the mouse.) You can also attach it to the LG Ultrafine 5K display that Apple sells, if you want to go all in. You can get the mini with Apple's matching space gray Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad and/or Magic Mouse.
And that's way more important than any internet hot take. By keeping the same design, those people - the core of the modern Mac mini customer base - can simply pull old units out of their setups and push new ones in.
Not for everyone already using one, especially in stacks, most especially in racks. Would changing the Mac mini's design make it better? VPN Deals: Lifetime license for $16, monthly plans at $1 & more
