[2314.30 --> 2314.54] Yeah.
[2315.26 --> 2316.90] And we'll bleed that one out if we can.
[2316.90 --> 2325.84] But it would because in most cases, sure, you want to get this as a bring your own monitor, bring your own keyboard kind of machine.
[2326.24 --> 2326.68] Yeah.
[2326.68 --> 2336.30] You know, from a price point, even more approachable, maybe even more dev-friendly, even more brand new dev-friendly, potentially at $799 open price.
[2336.88 --> 2337.18] Yeah.
[2337.40 --> 2337.76] You know what I mean?
[2337.80 --> 2340.04] Like, that's a good price.
[2340.04 --> 2340.96] It's better than $1,200.
[2341.94 --> 2342.42] Yeah.
[2342.76 --> 2342.96] Right?
[2342.96 --> 2355.70] I also love that they talked about the thermal, you know, thermal flow, because that's a big deal, especially for me on, like, my MacBook.
[2355.94 --> 2358.18] It runs so hot sometimes.
[2359.16 --> 2368.90] And, you know, if it's not properly aired and cooled, then, you know, basically your machine is not going to last very long.
[2368.90 --> 2373.58] I love that it also has four Thunderbolt 3 ports, 10 gigabit Ethernet.
[2374.06 --> 2374.32] Yeah.
[2374.32 --> 2380.00] I believe it has two USB-A ports as well, which is awesome to see.
[2380.20 --> 2382.90] The I.O. is just crazy cool.
[2383.70 --> 2389.02] And like Adam said, the price of $799 to begin with is just wonderful.
[2389.56 --> 2392.68] I was shocked to see them start at $799.
[2392.68 --> 2397.60] Well, if we rewind a little, it did start before at $499.
[2398.00 --> 2398.08] Right.
[2398.08 --> 2400.30] So, that's kind of terrible on that front.
[2400.32 --> 2400.94] It's kind of terrible.
[2401.02 --> 2402.02] Well, $499.
[2402.04 --> 2403.72] The difference on a starting price is kind of terrible.
[2404.00 --> 2404.44] No, no, no.
[2404.44 --> 2405.40] Let me point out some $200.
[2405.40 --> 2407.16] $499 is the price that it is right now, though.
[2407.82 --> 2409.98] Like, the old generation is $499.
[2411.56 --> 2412.04] That's what I mean.
[2412.04 --> 2415.22] Yeah, but when it was new, it didn't start at $499.
[2415.70 --> 2416.66] I think it might have.
[2416.80 --> 2419.48] I think it was at $499, and then it went up to maybe $699.
[2419.70 --> 2422.96] I can't remember the exact history, but there was an entry level $499, because I remember
[2422.96 --> 2427.42] thinking, get onto Mac OS, or back then it was OS X, for $500.
[2427.90 --> 2431.30] That was kind of the sales pitch, in my mind, for a Mac Mini.
[2431.62 --> 2431.92] Really?
[2432.46 --> 2432.82] Yeah.
[2432.90 --> 2438.04] Let me call out Apple a little bit here, because some of the stuff, I mean, this is exciting.
[2438.04 --> 2446.32] I love that there's a new Mac Mini, you know, the specs are good, but the marketing speech,
[2446.50 --> 2451.64] to me, rings a bit disingenuous, because they're like, it's five times faster.
[2451.98 --> 2454.68] It's 60% faster integrated graphics.
[2454.88 --> 2460.74] Like, all these numbers, which are amazing, like 5x performance boost, 60% better graphics,
[2460.74 --> 2467.76] 7.8x faster than the previous SSD, or the previous hard drive, or whatever.
[2468.04 --> 2468.52] Yeah.
[2469.66 --> 2471.44] These are easy numbers to hit.
[2471.54 --> 2475.80] When you don't release an update for four years, you know?
[2476.14 --> 2477.28] It's not that impressive.
[2477.50 --> 2478.26] It is what they've done.
[2478.94 --> 2479.28] Right.
[2479.40 --> 2481.34] It's because they haven't updated the thing in four years.
[2481.40 --> 2483.30] Of course, you're going to blow the previous one out of the water.
[2483.44 --> 2484.18] It's four years old.
[2484.26 --> 2486.58] Probably comparing spinning disk versus SSD, too.
[2487.12 --> 2488.06] Yeah, in that case, definitely.
[2488.18 --> 2488.40] Right.
[2488.40 --> 2494.80] I mean, like, it's, you can swap out pretty much any run-of-the-mill spinning disk to SSD
[2494.80 --> 2496.14] and get that performance.
[2497.00 --> 2497.40] Right.
[2498.04 --> 2500.40] It's not, I agree with you.
[2500.46 --> 2507.38] Do you want to know how hard or easy it is to get to be a $4199 machine?
[2507.38 --> 2516.44] Well, you add a 6-core 8th generation 3.2 processor, 64 gigs of RAM, 2 terabytes of SSD storage,
[2516.60 --> 2518.04] and 10 gigabit Ethernet.
[2518.12 --> 2520.78] That's how you get a $4,200 Mac Mini.
[2522.14 --> 2522.62] Wow.
[2522.84 --> 2523.06] Wow.
[2523.06 --> 2525.24] The fact that you can't, it's great.
[2525.80 --> 2526.16] Yeah.
[2526.16 --> 2529.04] Because there's some who want that form factor, but very server.
[2530.38 --> 2530.74] Right?
[2530.98 --> 2532.18] That runs macOS.
[2532.18 --> 2533.78] I think that's the one key thing here.
[2533.86 --> 2538.80] This is the only kind of machine you can max out to that level and run macOS.
[2539.34 --> 2544.64] Anything else out there, you got to go Linux or dare I say Windows.
[2544.64 --> 2547.92] I mean, that's what gets me.
[2548.66 --> 2553.88] When I run a machine in my house, I love Linux, but my familiarity is around macOS.
[2554.88 --> 2555.00] Yeah.
[2555.28 --> 2559.30] I can hack around Linux, but my preference is typically macOS.
[2559.30 --> 2562.28] It's just the case for most cases for me.
[2563.36 --> 2567.58] Now, let me ask you a question because this is the question that I wanted to ask you before.
[2568.52 --> 2571.44] And let's see, I want to hear both of your opinions on this.
[2571.52 --> 2577.42] So, I am sick of using my MacBook Pro as my main machine.
[2577.42 --> 2593.48] I feel like after this day, after this announcement, I feel like I could do most of my work off of a Mac Mini and have a MacBook Air as my secondary machine for conference going and things like that.
[2593.56 --> 2599.56] Would you agree with that based on the new specs that we learned from this new machine?
[2599.56 --> 2615.34] I think what would hold me back would be on the video front for you in particular because you may not do video every day is your prior job, but or even your day-to-day habits.
[2615.86 --> 2618.26] You know, the graphics is probably missing there.
[2618.46 --> 2620.56] It's definitely not a video-friendly machine.
[2620.56 --> 2626.20] So, I think once you get to that point, that's where a MacBook Pro or an iMac is better.
[2626.20 --> 2631.70] And with an iMac, you get the screen built in, which shouldn't be frowned upon.
[2632.34 --> 2637.12] And I'm not sure I would ever actually pay $4,200 for this machine.
[2637.56 --> 2638.84] You'd have to be crazy.
[2640.26 --> 2641.74] Well, you don't have to do that.
[2641.84 --> 2646.64] What specifically is missing with the, I mean, you say it's not for video.
[2647.04 --> 2649.22] Is it because the graphics card?
[2650.42 --> 2651.04] Yeah, the GPU.
[2651.54 --> 2652.54] You need that.
[2652.54 --> 2662.42] You need a graphics card with, you know, I would say at least 4 gigs of GPU for decent video stuff.
[2663.10 --> 2664.20] Anything that's in 4K.
[2664.40 --> 2669.88] I mean, you're going to be dropping frames left and right and not very happy.
