It occurs to me that while the world is rapt over the M4 Mac mini, perhaps a refurb M2 Pro Mac mini would suit me because it's a drop in replacement for my 2018. Otherwise I might need more adapters and hubs for USB-A stuff.
Buuuut probably not this one.
thirty five hundred dollary doos ‽ ‽ ‽
oh shit, eight terabytes SSD?
Delivery by Tuesday. I bet they have exactly 1 in Elk Grove and they're desperate to get rid of it. Not today, satan!

@pmcg Yeah the idea of spending that much on storage for a desktop is bonkers. I can understand doing it on a laptop if you have really high-end needs, but on a computer that isn’t mobile, you can get an external 8TB SSD for well under $1,000. Heck there’s one on sale right now for $500. Is it as fast? Probably not. But is the difference going to actually matter? Also probably not.

@dmnelson lol or their boss did!
I mean, there's MacMiniColo (or is it MacStadium now?)
They are important as servers (perhaps automated iOS app testing) but skimpy RAM and whacko storage is not right
