With the revamp of the Mac mini and MacBook Air, the Mac Pro once again finds itself as the oldest machine in the lineup (aside from carryover legacy machines kept around for pricing reasons). The MacBook and iMac (and Pro) were last refreshed in 2017, so they're due for updates as well.

Apple's macbook line up is such a mess.... Indecisive customers lead to overwhelmed customers which lead to non-customers.


Did those clowns learn nothing from their founder?

I can't for the life of me figure out why the Macbook still needs to exist. They should have named the new Air "Macbook" and discontinued the old Macbook. Unless I'm missing something, the Macbook is slower, more expensive, lower resolution, less battery life, and less ports. What sense does it make to keep it around?

I expected mini’s price to go up, but ouch. Not for those storage tiers either. I figured 256GB would be the floor, not 128GB. Apple has really jacked up pricing everywhere. I wonder how much is driven by Intel pricing and shortages.

2 core CPU and 128 GB SSD in late 2018 while similar Asus Zenbooks have Intel Whiskey Lake CPUs and you can buy 16GB RAM and SSD 512GB config without selling your kidneys.

Dell T5820 workstation with beast 10 core Intel Xeon CPU, 64GB RAM DDR4 ECC 2666 and 1TB NVMe PCIe cost $4165 (3760 EUR) after all taxes and Dell gave few hundred $ discount for CPU (normally it cost about $1000). 3Yr NBD warranty.

Apple prices are insane especially if they are claim that they use recycled materials like aluminium or tin. In such case product price should be lower comparing competitor products. Amazing Apple recycling!

It's amazing how much BS Apple under Tim Cook can recycle.

lol, Did you travel here from 1997? Every PC user made that same argument... Didn't seem to stop us from buying macs.


No, they didn't. Please go back and look at MacWorlds presented by Steve: he constantly compared Apple's prices to comprable PC's... and sometimes the Apple products were better priced. It's in the last 7-ish years that Apple has gotten more and more insane in their pricing, culminating in the utterly ridiculous release of the Mac mini today. I would ask if Tim & Co. are ashamed of themselves, but they have no shame.

Some people really want that ultra small laptop form factor, and Apple happily provides. We know enough about Apple to know they would have killed it if it were just languishing on shelves.

The biggest disappointment about the Mini is it removes its ability to be used as a media server for many, as optical digital in and out are now gone.
