The new Mac Mini starts at $799, which nets you a 3.6Ghz quad-core Core i3 processor with Intel UHD Graphics 630. $1...

People who do real man work on their personal work computin

Are you sure that is isnt soldered?

>64GB of RAM?
It's convenient if you want to keep that 50GB HDF5 file fully in memory for fast slicing..

Imagine being such an Applefaggot that you start posting from the damage control script before you even read the thread.

the new one has so-dimms though, they said it in the keynote

nigger have you ever run a cassandra database?

It clearly states SO-DIMM on the page

KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT

so basically in order to keep this thing relevant you need to get the 6-core version with 10gbe and as much SSD as you can afford

In which case you might as well buy a decent PC.

That's fairly cheap for 10gbit

or you can get a NUC with a better CPU, better RAM, Better SSD and better ethernet for less.

>I/O, I/O, it’s off to work you go.
cringe

Just get the cheapest or second cheapest SSD and use Thunderbolt storage when you need more

>appleniggers will defend this

probably one of those aquantia chips that are showing up everywhere now

my threadripper board has one (x399 fagtality) and i've seen add-in cards for similar prices with them

I’m gonna buy one.

there's no NUCs with 10gbe

they should have made it default, standard gigabit is so fucking old nowadays and apple has enough sway to get a ton of those chips for cheap enough to make it an industry wide standard

the problem is that there's no fucking switches for us to set it up with

there's like the one shitty asus unit that has two 10g ports and then it's off to the serious business stuff where it costs hundreds for a stack of ports (and/or it's all sfp+ instead of rj45)

Apple has been making computers longer than anyone today. That's worth the extra cost.

From that pic it seems like the RAM might be user upgradable, hopefully the SSD is as well so I can do it myself and pay way less than what Apple is asking for.

I’ll wait for the iFixit teardown to confirm.

I'm sure you can take it to Louis and he'll upgrade it for you.

And also void my warranty.

well that's incorrect if you include IBM

I may (unnironically) buy one for my parent's house.

>user replaceable RAM
>soldered in storage
What kind of logic is this? Are Apple engineers fucking stupid? Storage is the thing people always upgrade. For fuck's sake I'm posting this from a laptop with 8GB RAM that I've never upgraded but my OS is installed on the third SSD I've swapped into this thing. And what happens to the user's data when the motherboard gets fucked and the machine won't boot? With any other machine you just take the hard disk out and plug it into another machine with an adapter and recover the files.

>Are Apple engineers fucking stupid?
where have you been?

IBM are no longer making consumer PC's.

This.
No one needs 64GB RAM or more than 4 cores
Multithreading is a meme. Dedicated GPU too
Intel UHD 630 is enough.
There's no need for 1TB space anyway.

$799 is very cheap for Apple Mac Mini.
Apple makes best products.
With best components and best design.
Are you poor or something?

>users demand upgradeable parts
>applol lets users upgrade the parts that don't fucking matter
They've reached a new low with this one.

Can you even get a motherboard today that supports more than 64GB of RAM?

>consumer PC
you didn't specify that

The T2 chip has full access to the storage, it's what holds the encryption keys and I assume the solder-in decision was made because of this

Still I don't trust a non-auditable chip like that, I hope the infosec community goes after it like a bunch of rabid dogs

>implying they can't just reach out to their memory manufacturers and modify the controller firmware to work with their new security co-processor, and disable the encryption features on non-OEM disks
There's literally nothing sane or reasonable about this design. The newest Apple devices I own a 2009 Mac Pro and an iPad mini 2. They do everything I need them to do, and when they stop doing that I'm just gonna build another AMD desktop and get a Samsung tablet.

Why didn't they release the keyboard without the numeric keypad in space grey?
I don't really want the other one because it's too big and i don't need the extra stuff on it.

Then what is TB2/USB3 like for external SSD transfer speeds? Comparable to internal speeds?

Computers sure, but I don't see anything wrong with getting a newer iPad besides the price (idk if they've dumped the 3.5mm though), and even then an older one will suit your purposes just fine. My mini 2 has been running strong since I got it and if it breaks I'd be perfectly happy buying another mini 2 if the battery was new.

>I don't see anything wrong with getting a newer iPad
I'd like to be able to transfer PDF files (the only thing I use the damn thing for) over USB instead of emailing them to myself (firewall at work) or having to grab them off my home server.

That's an expensive Klondike ice cream bar.

anandtech.com/show/13473/intel-to-support-128gb-of-ddr4-on-core-9th-gen-desktop-processors

9th Gen & Z390 supports 128GB of RAM

After Intel launches the rest of the 9th Gen CPUs next year, Mac Mini might be refresh with 9th Gen CPU and support up to 128GB of RAM

8th Gen CPUs don't support 128GB, so don't bother upgrading Mac Mini Late 2018 beyond 64GB

Friend, I agree with you.
There's no need for 64GB.

They don't buy Macs and certainly not Mac minis

Remeber that Jow Forums is run on Mac mini fag.

And you won't have >1gbps internet too soon either.

Supply and demand. There is nothing that even comes close at this price point, so as high as the price is, it's literally the best you can get.

I was going to reply something witty to this, but I can't bother.

You're just too retarded

>$150 for a shitty low profile memebrane keyboard with an apple logo
does anyone unironically buy this

Isn't it using butterfly switches?

>proprietary memebrane

>muh hardware specs

It can run MacOS. That's the whole point, dummy.
Go back to /v/ and leave tech discussions to adults.

Wow that was difficult

And the best one there is.

Samsung just released 256GB DDR4 DIMMS.

What kind of ports does it have

and inferior to any mechanical keyboard which can be had for a third of the price

>isnt bad deal
meanwhile in amd

for the price of the top mac mini you can literally make an over the top mini and still have money left to buy 2 more

for all we know apple might have soldered everything BUT the top notch version

>windows

hello gaming toddler

>macos

hello literal nobody

>$3k for that piece of shit

mother of god

Most mechanical keyboards suck ass too. Besides, it's a keyboard to be used with a tablet, not just a keyboard. How many mechanical alternative covers are there for less?

If you want to bitch about it, just two viewing angles seem like a better point against it.

>Samsung tablet
Have fun switching from a Mac, but you're in for a disappointment when you try to switch to an Android tablet.

Enjoy spending $650 on your new tablet when you could have gotten an iPad pro if you had just saved up a little bit more.
I could buy a $200 chinkphone with a better soc than this

Hahahahaha

Out of either of those messages, the second one is the one that'd actually stop me jumping.

buy a 6 core ipad that runs on a lower freq
vs
a 820 8 core that runs on a higher freq plus it as android aka you can actually slap a custom rom on it..

Hahahahahaha, look at this iToddler RAMlet! My workstation motherboard supports up to 2TB of RAM and I have 128GB installed right now. I also have 4x 4TB SSDs in it. My laptop has 32GB RAM and one 4TB SSD.

Yet fucking iToddlers pay out the ass for a 10MB disk and 256k of RAM in their fruity faggot toys. You are nothing and you have nothing.

Not for your standard AM4/1151 consumer chips, but dedicated server motherboards can go way higher.

> when you userbase is retarded

dimm slots directly above CPU, how does this even work

if the mobo gets fucked you send it apple repair, like the good computer illiterate onions boy you are

don't forget to praise Steve (slave)Jobs and shill in your free time, thanks

Apple

>Quad i3

Probably the 8100

>thinking frequency has any meaning
Did you get stuck in 2003 or something? Even A11 from last year runs circles around other ARM CPUs, A12 is basically 3x better.

i want to upgrade my home computer that my parents use, its probably there for almost a decade. they are only slightly tech literate, i was thinking about the base mac mini for them. i want something that i can forget about. what do you guys think

> tech
> applel
my sides, gone ! here's a (you)

Not a bad idea. The only reasonable alternative is a locked down Windows 7 or 8 PC. (10 won't work, because the big updates can easily fuck it up and require your babysitting.)

>Paying $50 extra for numpad on a non-mechanical keyboard
The absolute STATE of Applel

intel nuc or msi cubi with i5.
old versions will go for 200 + ssd + ram.
install babby's linux on them (mint or ubuntu) and ssh to apt update once in a while
don't be a nigger, don't give them apple shit, it will cost them an arm and a leg when it dies in 6 months of extreme overheating, after they have launched safari twice

>worse in daily usage tests than memecomm and samsung chips
>thinks the company that cheats and cuts corners on their products making them break in days came up with a miraculous chip rather than cheated once more

Yeah, I guess remote management is an option as well.
But I'm not convinced by the just-werkness of desktop Linux. And if they want to connect some peripherals they might have issues as well. Or maybe with some DRM/hardware acceleration/whatever the fuck. It's risky.

I've installed Mint on a Nuc for my parents. it just werks. They are absolute computer illiterates.
You know it's easy. If they don't understand shit to computers, they'll have problems whatever the OS.
Besides my parents are using the computer to dump pics from their camera, skype with grand children, scanning and printing. Everything werks out of the box.
If you don't force luck with a meme distribution, it's going to just werk.

Waiting also to see if ram and SSD is user upgradeable. I can deal with the SSD being solder, not so much the ram.

> faster child porn
applel deviants confirmed

They'll probably wait a few months for people to buy the new one, then release the numpad-free version for $200.

Is it possible? I thought about this, but most likely some should stretch from when bones are flexible.

I will never be able to suck my dick...
Not sure if it's a good or a bad thing.

sucking dicks is gay even if it's your own.
Don't do it.

I'm lurking this thread on my tab s4, and I have to say it's very comfy. I predominantly use it as an e-readerfor pdf textbooks and the sort, and it scales quite nicely. The juicy 2560x1600 amoled screen is practically the only reason why I chose Samsung over the competition, and being able to see excruciating detail in photos 30Mb+ large is neat.
