Heck, I'll even add a "personal shopper" markup just for you because I want you to feel extra special about your purchase!
Mac Mini - $900 - I need 512 GBs of storage. 256 GBs is not enough in 2020. I think I have like 19 GBs remaining on my 2015 MBP.
Accessories:
Magic Keyboard: $100
Magic Trackpad: $130
HP 27 inch 1080 Pavilion monitor:
$180 on Amazon.
with Taxes on everything:
$1700
Like seriously? Might as well buy an iMac and I haven’t even included a web cam. So I am looking at least $1,800.
Installments through my Apple Card would remove the sticker shock of the upfront cost, but it’s just all the moving parts involved balloon the price to not make it an option.
I think I’ll just wait until summer ‘21 and buy the last gen Intel 27 inch iMac. I honestly don’t need another notebook, since I already have a 2015 in MBP, Surface Pro 3 and 2017 iPad Pro, which all make great mobile devices.
I was more looking at a Desktop solution with a little more bang for the buck that could give more viewing room for content and enjoyable experience for Netflix. Also, I wanted a modern Mac that integrates with the rest of my iOS devices because I plan to keep my 2015 MBP on Mojave to maintain compatibility with Adobe CS6.
The Mac Mini if you don’t know what you are doing makes it deceptive.
If I remember correctly, he didn't allow sellers to advertise below their minimum advertised price (MAP).
Back in the day, if a retailer wanted to advertise a sale on an Apple product, their (paper) ad would tell you to contact them for special pricing because it was below MAP.
You make a choice as to whether you want/need control over these components, or whether you are happy to conform to whatever Apple is giving you with the iMac (nothing wrong with it).
And by the way, if you ever decide to upgrade your CPU with the iMac, you'll have to upgrade the monitor as well, whether you like it or not.
