    Sucks What Was Done To The MM

    I love my 2012 i7 Mac Mini. Bought it a year ago for dual purpose music production and home theater PC service and it's great. Dead quiet and powerful. I got the Ivy Bridge i7 quad core with Hyper Threading with it's 8 logical cores which makes quick work of converting music files. I noticed...

    Imagining a new Mac mini: What would you like to see?
