Apple Introduces New MacBook Air and Mac Mini

Yes, exactly the space grey. I like the silver one too. But space grey should be great. Even though I don't like the idea of a brick outside of the case... and not room for extra disks and stuff (even a graphics card...).

Well, it looks like our worst hopes about the T2 chip have been confirmed.
Apple can now block 3rd party repairs very effectively.

Someone on slashdot said:

This violates Federal Law, in particular the Magnussen-Moss Act (15 USC 2302(c)) requirement that says
warrantors cannot require that only branded parts be used with the product in order to retain the warranty.

Anyone want to start a huge class action suit against Apple in their copious spare time?

Im looking at options. I have the ncase and corsair sfx psu's already. But those streacom cases look damn good!

I am eager to see your build, man!! I am sure it will be amazing!! Please let us know if you bought something already!! Start a thread!! Cheers

For anyone that has to have one in Space Gray.

Yeah, I really like that case. 3.15 inches tall.
You can even order them with a 150watt mini PSU built in.

If you like a challenge, they make an H60 line as well. I don't think you'd have room for a CPU fan.

I have a Thermaltake Core V1. I like it well enough. Wanted to go smaller, but it was my first build.

Above 100 degrees C? Wow. Then it throttles you down, and you never get to use all that zippy turbo speed?

Marketing is amazing stuff.

I doubt that you'd be maxing out all 6 cores at the same time the way Cinebench does when running that stress test. Especially running it 5 times back to back. The new mini isn't being sold as a video rendering machine, it would be a poor choice for that due to the igfx UHD 630 graphics.
