It’s been three years since the Mac mini got an update—and let’s be honest, the last update was both minor and disappointing. 2018 is the year for the Mac mini revival. I have mainly used multiple Mac computer for the past 12 years most of my work (video and photos). I love the power new iMac Pro, but it is incredibly expensive so I am looking at building my own.

The last time Apple updated the Mac Mini was in October 2014. Over the past four years, users and pundits alike have speculated whether the Mini had been left behind and if Apple had decided it was time to move on from the small box and instead focus resources on other Mac products.
In a lot of ways, it's the same story as the MacBook Air, another Apple computer that had gone without a meaningful update for a number of years.

Then, rumors began to surface that Apple was indeed going to update the Mac Mini, and this time, it would have features that professional users would appreciate.
Sure enough, during Apple's October event -- where the company not only refreshed the iPad Pro but also the MacBook Air -- a new Mac Mini was unveiled. The svelte enclosure houses the latest and greatest components, and the refresh shows Apple is listening to some of its most vocal users, and that the Mac Mini has a place in its product lineup.
For the past few days, I've been using the Mac Mini, and have come away rather impressed with this little Mac.
