News & Reviews:   apple mac mini

Despite their small sizes, mini PCs can be powerhouses in compact form. Among them is the Mac mini, a macOS-based mini PC powered by Apple's M-series SoCs. The company unveiled its M2-powered model earlier this year, but a successor could already be in development.

Besides the MacBook Pro, the new Mac mini is also now available on the Apple Malaysia website store online. To refresh your memory, the starting price is RM2499 and there are three different models to choose from for the Malaysian market.

When Apple refreshed the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13 with the M2 SoC last year, it was met with controversy after the SSD speeds of the base variants were found to be much slower than the M1 equivalents. Well, the tech giant has been found doing the same thing again, this time with the recently released M2 Mac Mini and M2 MacBook Pro models.

Aside from their M2 Pro and M2 Max powered MacBook Pro laptops, Apple has officially announced the release of their new Apple Mac mini desktops. However, these devices will be powered by the M2 and M2 Pro only with no mention of any M2 Max variant just yet. Prices start from RM2499.

Apple may move away from mini-LED displays for its future iPads and MacBooks lineups and opt for OLED displays instead. This is according to industry sources which claim that demand for mini-LED suppliers is shrinking due to Apple’s alleged move.   

After the surprise drop of new iPads, Apple might have another one for us before the year ends. The latest report suggests the company is gearing up to launch new MacBook Pro models and Mac mini PC next month.

An authorised Apple dealer and reseller in the United States, B&H Photo, Video & Pro may have jumped the gun and listed Apple products that haven’t even been released just yet. In its listings today, the company put various unreleased Apple products as ‘New Item - Coming Soon’, including the Apple Mac mini 8/256GB with M2 and Mac mini tower 8/256GB with M1 Pro.

In the last few weeks, there have been rumours of Apple working on a new Mac Pro, iMac Pro, and Mac mini. But that's not the end of it when it comes to new Mac computers in 2022. Allegedly, Apple is also developing a new variant called the Mac Studio.

For Apple fans, 1H 2022 will have plenty of new products coming their way. The company is gearing up to release new Mac PCs, with some undoubtedly in the mass production phase. Now, sources have provided an estimate of when some of these would be released.

While some claimed that Apple would discontinue the iMac Pro, renders of a new model popped up in May. It was later rumoured that the new model would feature the Apple M1 chip and would launch in 2022. Now, there's a new rumour about its display.
