[1913.68 --> 1914.06] Yeah.
[1914.12 --> 1918.68] I mean, you know, you're going to embrace it, but a daily machine, you're like, man, this sucks.
[1918.68 --> 1922.84] I spent the extra, you know, grand or two maybe to get something that's more capable.
[1922.84 --> 1924.48] But that's what I'm saying.
[1924.58 --> 1935.40] Like, like we were, like we were talking about before, you know, as a, as a portable conference going machine, like, you know, in for, for what we do.
[1935.64 --> 1941.76] I mean, we could totally do a quick edit of, of a video on, on this, you know, on location.
[1942.36 --> 1942.48] Yeah.
[1942.48 --> 1947.56] So it makes it an affordable can also kind of machine, but not daily.
[1948.04 --> 1952.38] Definitely, you know, affordable on that front, affordable on the weight front.
[1952.84 --> 1953.44] Yeah.
[1953.44 --> 1968.10] And I would even venture to say that maybe our AI folks, machine learning folks are saying this air is probably great for me too, because you still have the necessary USB-C Thunderbolt three ports.
[1968.10 --> 1977.52] So I can eGPU it externally still yet and still get a, you know, for better or worse, $1,200 machine and still go eGPU and add on things.
[1977.66 --> 1985.04] I'm assuming the IO is there for those external ML tasks that, you know, this is still a dev friendly machine.
[1985.04 --> 1985.92] Mm-hmm.
[1986.00 --> 1993.46] Not to mention at this point, a lot of the real heavy machine learning deals you can run on an EC2 instance or on Azure.
[1993.64 --> 1993.84] True.
[1994.02 --> 1997.14] You know, the real heavy lifting, you usually don't run it on your laptop anyhow.
[1997.14 --> 1999.36] And so you're just accessing the results.
[1999.36 --> 2001.68] And for that, you're, you're in good company here.
[2003.18 --> 2007.58] Maybe we should move on to a part two, because we could probably talk about the MacBook Air all day.
[2007.86 --> 2008.56] Mac mini.
[2008.56 --> 2010.18] But come on, the Mac mini.
[2010.36 --> 2011.78] It's been five years?
[2012.14 --> 2012.70] Four years?
[2013.52 --> 2014.28] Too long.
[2014.60 --> 2015.10] Too long.
[2015.28 --> 2015.62] Seriously.
[2015.80 --> 2016.96] It seriously has been too long.
[2017.04 --> 2028.16] I mean, as an owner of many, many generations, current owner of four, as a matter of fact, we're speaking right now through a few MacBook minis, or sorry, Mac minis.
[2029.58 --> 2035.68] We use them as Skype machines every single day to do live broadcasts and to do our recording.
[2035.68 --> 2039.32] It's part of a system that just works for us.
[2039.44 --> 2045.40] So we have networked Mac minis for them that all feedback into our multi-channel interface.
[2045.90 --> 2047.90] They're essentially Skype machines.
[2048.16 --> 2050.82] I call them cloud microphones, basically, because that's what it is.
[2050.86 --> 2052.22] Each one is a cloud microphone.
[2053.12 --> 2060.26] You know, it allows me to connect people in the cloud to hear locally as a local mic via, you know, the audio in and out.
[2060.26 --> 2066.78] So if it weren't for those machines, our setup would be just a little less professional.
[2067.04 --> 2067.58] Let's just say.
[2068.40 --> 2074.22] I don't think we don't really need to upgrade to a Mac mini or to this newest version.
[2074.22 --> 2078.82] I don't think our needs in that case need this new Mac mini.
[2079.50 --> 2091.04] However, for anyone holding on to who's bought the oldest trash can possible Mac Pro and just kept it because, you know, it does look sexy.
[2091.12 --> 2092.44] It is a very nice machine.
[2092.44 --> 2103.74] And you've kept it or you've desired to keep it or desire to go back onto the market of eBay and buy one because you don't want to buy the non-existent Mac Pro now.
[2103.74 --> 2112.32] And you want Pro type server related stuff that the Mac mini of today prior to today, real today, couldn't handle.
[2112.48 --> 2116.12] Then you probably either went Hackintosh.
[2116.26 --> 2123.82] You probably went PC and you're not too good to flavorless in our show because the Mac mini just didn't compete for you.
[2124.60 --> 2127.50] Or you pushed the Mac mini and you just bought two versus one.
[2127.58 --> 2127.98] I don't know.
[2128.16 --> 2131.40] But the current Mac mini is pretty freaking awesome.
[2131.40 --> 2134.86] So let's talk about what was announced.
[2135.48 --> 2137.28] Yeah, of the specs.
[2137.44 --> 2139.56] So it starts with four cores.
[2140.08 --> 2142.50] You can go up to six cores.
[2142.92 --> 2147.96] This, to me, feels like Apple is listening to its customers.
[2148.32 --> 2152.72] I was shocked that it starts with four cores.
[2153.00 --> 2155.64] Also, Space Gray, amazing.
[2156.14 --> 2158.72] Again, I would love matte black, but I'll settle for Space Gray.
[2158.72 --> 2158.76] Okay.
[2160.68 --> 2162.36] 64 gigabytes of memory.
[2162.78 --> 2165.26] Now, can someone explain to me what SODIMS mean?
[2167.00 --> 2167.40] No.
[2167.50 --> 2168.62] Somebody who's not named Jared.
[2170.48 --> 2173.06] He did make a point of saying it's got SODIMS.
[2173.32 --> 2175.38] So I'm sure all of those out there know what that is, but I don't.
[2175.38 --> 2176.10] Okay.
[2176.24 --> 2178.98] Because I didn't understand what that was all about.
[2179.16 --> 2179.34] All right.
[2179.40 --> 2181.74] So it starts with 256 SSD.
[2182.28 --> 2184.74] You can go up to two terabytes.
[2184.96 --> 2197.64] Also has the T2 security chip, which I'm wondering, like, I guess I always felt that the T2 chip was mostly for Touch ID, but I guess it's not.
[2197.64 --> 2201.38] It also does some encryption on the drives.
[2202.06 --> 2202.54] Right.
[2203.82 --> 2206.32] To rewind, although I can explain the SODIMS.
[2208.26 --> 2210.98] I'm over here on Wikipedia also looking up SODIMS.
[2211.12 --> 2218.80] I was mentioning just simply because, you know, I'm assuming it's of similar speed, but not of similar size.
[2218.80 --> 2226.90] So when you talk about the DIMS that go in for the RAM, then the SODIM, they call it small outline, dual inline memory module.
[2227.14 --> 2233.50] It's the type that can be just a small alternative to the typical DIMS that you put into, say, maybe a laptop.
[2233.82 --> 2240.18] Those might even, you may be, you may see some laptops out there pushing it and doing the SODIMS in there.
[2240.66 --> 2247.22] But in probably most cases, you're going with probably just full DIMS, if that's the case.
[2248.04 --> 2248.48] Okay.
[2248.48 --> 2253.64] So the SODIMS is based on a smaller version of what's typically known as RAM.
[2254.24 --> 2254.52] Okay.
[2254.72 --> 2255.60] Form factor-wise, at least.
[2255.76 --> 2256.80] But your question was?
[2259.18 --> 2263.52] Well, I wanted to know what SODIMS was, so you answered that.
[2263.66 --> 2264.20] Good, good.
[2264.62 --> 2270.32] So they're basically just like regular RAM DIMS, but they're half the size, and so they fit better in the smaller spaces, like in the Mac Mini.
[2270.50 --> 2272.46] I don't know why customers would care so much.
[2272.54 --> 2274.64] Maybe they're popping them open and replacing them.
[2274.72 --> 2275.08] I don't know.
[2275.08 --> 2280.74] Yeah, I think that's definitely mentioned as an earmark for, hey, if you plan to crack this open, you're going to deal with SODIMS.
[2280.74 --> 2280.92] Yeah.
[2280.92 --> 2283.06] And I'm assuming you can crack it open.
[2283.14 --> 2289.24] I'm also assuming, based on this conversation, or at least they've shown so far, that the form factor hasn't changed.
[2289.24 --> 2305.14] Because one thing that would really check my butt is if the form factor of the new Mac Mini changes so much that you couldn't use all of the existing, listen, all the existing rack mount options out there for Mac Mini currently.
[2305.90 --> 2305.92] Yeah.
[2306.14 --> 2308.72] That would, so many people, we never cares on this show.
[2308.82 --> 2310.20] Gosh, I don't even know why I'm saying that.
[2310.46 --> 2312.84] It would severely upset people.
[2312.94 --> 2314.30] Let's use a more friendly term.
