Apple deffo needs to bring out a new Mac mini, it is way, way overdue.... For anyone wanting to get into the Apple eco system the mini is the best starting point, but the current version is way too slow. I think they will revamp it with a minimum 256gb SSD, 8 gig ddr4 ram, and maybe a Kabylake of some sort stuck in as well. At least that will be able to run the basics of modern household computing (internet, mail, images, songs etc).
I still have a 2012 version, sitting on my desk, just as a backup incase my Hack goes t**ts up.
