inthemix69 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I really hope that the rumours I'm hearing about the new Mac Mini ( dubbed 'The Super' ) are someway close to being accurate. First up, it looks as if they're addressing the lack of memory options, which was a big factor in keeping me from buying an M1 based system, with a max of only 16GB ram. As I use a lot of virtual instruments and very large sample libraries in my compositions, the 16GB ceiling was a concern with the M1 units, and I'm pleased to discover that the Mini will have options of up to 64GB of the new type of super efficient ram ( a major drawback of the M1 solved for me, at least ). The new cpu with 12 cores is set to add even more impressive performance to what was already exceptional with the M1 and this, again, will only help my cpu heavy workflow. The added ports will also be a help, but I do tend to run hubs off of each port anyways, drastically increasing the number of inputs available to me, so I don't see this as being hugely different from what I do already. The only thing that matters to me now, is when will this beautiful little beast actually appear ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

des99 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've been *desperately* waiting for the M1X MBPs, which are no doubt coming soon. However, in the last few months I think I'm angling to getting an M1X Mac Mini instead. Given that I desperately need one, and therefore want them to be introduced at the forthcoming MBP event (being based on the same tech), I expect the likelihood will be that they *don't* get announced and I'll instead have to keep waiting until at least Spring next year. Here's hoping for the M1X 'Mini's on October 18th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putte Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Also hoping for a M1X-mini here. So far I´m on a 2018 mini i7. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putte Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 well here's the latest - let's hope https://www.macrumors.com/guide/2022-mac-mini/ Yes! I'm following all this on a regular basis and really hope that we'll see a Mac mini Pro/Max sometime soon. And hopefully with these added ports as well. That would be my dream machine.

fisherking Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 to be announced march 8th (perhaps). or perhaps not (but am personally going with 'perhaps').... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I've been waiting for a new iMac 27" for over 5 years now but I would most likely settle for a Mac mini M2 it that comes out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putte Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Hi David. I actually hope that it's not going to be a Mac mini M2, but a M1 Pro/Max instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewave Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 What we hope for and what actually becomes available from Apple are two distinctly different topics. Apple has proven one thing to me, they know how to play the market and make a good fortune. Sadly, I think Apple will not release a powerhouse Mini till the 27" iMac/iMac Pro with updated M1/M2 is released. Seriously, nobody really knows but I would say a base model M2 Mini is much more in line with their marketing strategy, boring but this is what I expect. Maybe it will be a 12 core cpu chip? That also would not surprise me at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashermusic Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hi David. I actually hope that it's not going to be a Mac mini M2, but a M1 Pro/Max instead. Reportedly, the M1 Pro is faster than the M2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Of course, the Pro Chips are much more powerful than the non-Pro chips. M2 is just a slight improvement on the M1, ie the next iteration of the entry-level version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
