The switch to USB-C is good! Except for all the dongles you’ll need to get there.

I simply can not fathom the obsession people have with Apple products when they so egregiously price gouge their customers.

I’m not a fan of their MacOS based products, but I prefer iOS for the fact that I can rely on getting timely updates. For a good long while. That is not something that is generally true with Android. I’m fine with paying for that level of support.

Last time I looked, no Android vendors provided close to the same level of support.

That said, if I was a business and needed to field in house apps to mobile devices, everyone would be getting an Android device. Custom apps for iOS are a pain in the ass.

And yet, people buy iPhones instead of 3 Mac minis.

People buy expensive Android phones too. What’s your point?

A physically smaller Minisforum UM480XT with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD is $249.

The Mac Mini is a significantly better value.
