APPLE NEW IMAC RELEASE DATE 2018 MAC
It’s a simple, sensible move that many other Mac devices, including the iMac Pro and Mac Pro. The new Mac mini launches with PCIe SSD storage, offering up to 2TB of capacity and starting at 128GB. That was a more common offering a few years ago, but now the market has shifted more fully toward SSD options. The old Mac mini showed its age with options for an HDD, SSD, or fusion drive combination. It would have re-framed the Mac mini as a more capable gaming and content creation tool, but alas, what we’re getting is a bit more basic. It’s an expensive chip made for miniaturized PCs like the Intel NUC. These are the Intel/AMD hybrid units that include AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics onboard a quad-core, Intel processor.
We’d speculated that the unit could have shipped with the Core i5-8305G and Core i7-8809G, though that clearly hasn’t happened. Don’t expect to be gaming on this thing, unless you hook it up to an external GPU. Apple says the CPU provides 60 percent better graphics, though that’s still using Intel’s integrated UHD graphics. It can also be configured up to a six-core, Core i5-8500 or Core i7-8700. The base model of the new Mac mini comes with an 8th-gen four-core CPU from Intel, specifically, the Core i3-8109U. The company followed that up in its new Mac mini, which is now made from entirely recycled aluminum. The company has been using purely recycled aluminum from iPhone cases to create Mac minis just for use inside Apple facilities. Interestingly, Apple has been making new Mac minis all along, but only as limited releases. Compact PCs that can attach to the back of monitors or fit on your keychain are everywhere you look, and a new Mac mini would have to address the changing context with its size and design. The Mac mini is known for being small, though the definition of small has changed rather quickly over the past few years. While we’d heard a few rumblings about what a new Mac mini could look like before the announcement, very little involving its actual physical appearance was known. The new Mac mini weighs 2.9 pounds and comes in a new Space Grey colorway to match the iMac Pro.
The new Mac mini is available for order today through the Apple Store and will ship on November 7. Also included are options for either a quad-core or six-core Intel processor. There will be an assortment of configuration options, including up to 16GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. The Mac mini has a new starting price of $800, which is a pretty big jump up in price from the former version’s $500. It’s been several years since the Mac mini got an update, and Apple has rarely brought up the little desktop computer square. If you’re a little surprised at that, there’s good reason.
