The next Mac Pro must have storage & PCIe expansion to succeed the current Mac Pro (which was the key selling & marketing point over the trashcan Mac).Source: – Mac mini 2018 Mac mini 2018 Release Date and Original Price Introduced If it is to be released this year (per Apple's promised roadmap) than they must have solved such a basic necessity for a computer by now. Apple is going to have to solve the expandability issue for internal storage for the Mac Pro. ?If it is not expandable - than it should certainly not need external power per your logic! You cite expandability as the key to the mac mini moving to external power.yet in the same breath state that the new mac mini will not / should not be expandable. Your second line disputes your first line. If all that can be squeezed into a tiny mac mini in 2014, it is objectively a regression to require an external power brick in 2022. My intel mac mini server has two hard drives, intel chips, two user upgradeable RAM slots AND an internal PSU. The mac mini has had an internal GPU to keep things neat & clean for about a decade.

With the advent of the M1 SOC you can’t add RAM, you can’t install a bigger SSD, it’s all on the M1,so why would you need to open it up? You do know that RAM and Storage are fixed and not upgradeable, period, right? I respectfully disagree with your take on this.Īs for opening it up, that’s a non-issue.

External power supply means additional hardware can be added. Why? An internal power supply takes up space and by far generates the most heat of any component. A port extender dock, and two miniStacks all stacked on top of each other sounds reasonably tidy, but it will require 3, possibly 4, external power bricks with some arrangement shenanigans for the power strip. Otherwise, this might be what I get after the 2013 iMac 27 goes kaput.

Microsoft probably earned 20% margins on it, at least. What a piece of shit hardware that Xbox was, where the external power brick had to be "reset" to fix some of its issues. I despised the one on the Xbox One we had. I even include laptop power bricks in my hatred list. Really don't like an external power supply, in the iMac 24, and this if it has it. Hoping the footprint is identical to the current model at least. A square footprint limits them on having a good cooling system. Wish the air flow was front to back like it is in the Mac Pro. It could be like the intakes for the MBP, with slots in the bottom corners. This still isn't great for cooling either way. So perhaps the intakes are hidden underneath the skids. The vent in the rear-bottom is maybe the exhaust where hot air comes out. It needs an intake and exhaust for the cooling system. Despite these issues, Prosser and his render artist confirmed that this arrangement was precisely what was shown in the leaked documents. The Mac mini doesn't have these issues, however, so the port seems useless beyond aesthetic purposes. The old power connector was behind the iMac's stand and required force and a correct angle to insert, and it was very difficult to do without seeing the port head-on.Ī magnetic connector solves these issues by having it snap into place just by having it near the port, with no need for sight or force. The magnetic connector seemingly exists to solve a problem with the iMac during setup. Prosser's design had the Thunderbolt ports too close together for cables to attach, and the magnetic power adapter seemed out of place on a small desktop. There is no headphone jack nor SD card slot, doubly confirmed by Prosser. It also showed four USB Type-C Thunderbolt ports, two USB-A ports, an Ethernet port, and an HDMI port. On the back of the Mac mini, the leak showed a power button and magnetic power connector similar to the ones used on the 24-inch iMac. The matte-colored top and rubber feet on bottom
