The Mac Mini might just get an update this 2019. Here are a couple of things we’d like to see improved in the Mac Mini 2019, plus some new things we’d like added.
Just when we thought that Apple has forgotten about the Mac mini, the company swept us off our feet with a stunning return to form late last year, alongside the new MacBook Air. In fact, that new Mac mini was so impressive that we’re already eagerly anticipating a Mac mini 2019.
Even at its base configuration, the Mac mini 2018 brings high performance, as it features desktop-class 8th-generation Intel Coffee Lake processors to keep up with intense workloads. The miniature Mac also has a ton of ports for connectivity, as well as a decent thermalk architecture to keep temperatures under control.
Of course, the new Mac mini is far from a perfect piece of hardware. The integrated graphics leave a lot to be desired while the SSD storage is the bare minimum. That’s not to mention it’s price tag, which is not all that affordable – even if it is the cheapest Mac available.
Just in case Apple does decide to release a new Mac mini this year – hopefully in June 3’s WWDC 2019, we’ve whipped up a wish list. Check back for more updates as more Mac Mini 2019 release date and price information starts to leak, if at all.
It took Apple four years to release the 2018 update, so it’s hard to know if it will release a Mac mini in 2019 at all. In fact, we may have to wait until a new MacBook Air or Mac Pro refresh. Still, if a new Mac mini does release this year, it probably won’t happen until October, when it typically reveals new Mac releases.
At least that’s how it played out last year, when the company broke the news of the Mac Mini 2018 at the Apple Event in late October, with the mini desktop hitting the shelves a few days later in November. Although, we are still hoping for a June 3 unveiling at WWDC 2019, though it is highly unlikely seeing as there hasn’t been any rumors alluding to an update.
Again, whether Apple will release a 2019 Mac Mini model is pure speculation at this point, but we’ll update this story once we hear anything more concrete. Keep your eyes peeled.
At the moment, the Mac Mini 2018 has two configurations: the $799 base configuration, which has a Core i3 processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, a UHD Graphics 630 integrated graphics and a 128GB SSD; and the $1,099 “high-end” configuration, which boasts a Core i5 processor a 256GB SSD, and the same integrated graphics and RAM.
