Still small and quiet, Two Thunderbolt 2 ports, Energy efficient, 802.11ac Wi-Fi
RAM isn't user-upgradable, No quad-core options, Can't run 4K at 60Hz
Whether you will want to plump for Apple's new high-end Mac mini will depend on what you want to use it for, and even then the Mac mini finds itself in something of an odd position. If you're looking for the cheapest and smallest desktop PC that runs OS X...

Improved Fusion Drive with PCIe flash, Improved 11ac WiFi, Two Thunderbolt 2 ports
Top Mac mini has less than half the processor performance of previous model, Soldered memory blocks user upgrades, Expensive compared to previous 2012 model, with price increasing again in late 2016
For power users that need that extra processing headroom, the quad-core Mac mini is already sorely missed. For single-threaded applications, the processor performance is little changed, even though we expected the 0.2 GHz advantage to give this model an u...

Up to 50 percent slower than before, no quadcore processor, loses option to upgrade memory, loses FireWire 800
While the entry-level Mac mini (Late 2014) is priced attractively at £399, it would benefit from a memory upgrade at least to 8 GB, especially since this upgrade will never be possible later. By then comparing this upgraded cheapest model at £479 to the m...

The Mac Mini is the least expensive OS X computer, and its performance is on par with Macs that cost twice as much
Upgrades are expensive, and aftermarket upgrades are nearly impossible. Configuration options are not as extensive as previous versions of the Mac Mini, and a keyboard and mouse are not included
While its sealed-case limitations will turn off power users, Apple's least expensive Mac delivers a solid OS X experience in a compact box with similar performance to the entry-level MacBook Air and iMac models....

Now cheaper, graphics updates, design is still strong for the most part
Rear SD card slot inconvenient, no quad-core options, no user upgradability after purchase
The Mac mini has been changed in 2014: updated, if not upgraded. There are tweaks and changes, but the thing we notice most is that the Mac mini now feels like it's been moved out of the hands of those who like to tinker. Perhaps that's just our inn...
