Apple hasn’t updated its Mac mini computer for at least two years now. For those who are looking for something compact and slim that they can hook up to their TV or monitors, then you might be pleased to learn that the new Mac minis have been reported to debut alongside the new iPads in October.
This is according to the folks at MacRumors who claims that they have heard from their sources that October is when the new Mac minis will be announced. We have heard word earlier this year that the new Mac mini computers will launch with Intel Haswell chipsets, and an Apple support document had also referenced the computer, although it stated mid 2014 and well let’s face it, October is hardly “mid 2014”.
Unfortunately not much else was revealed by their source, such as the hardware specs that we might be able to look forward to, but like we said, an earlier rumor did hint at an Intel Haswell chipset, so perhaps that’s one of the specs that we might be able to expect. However as MacRumors points out, the timing is a little odd given that Mac mini-compatible Broadwell chipsets have been scheduled for early next year.
This means that the new Mac mini computers, if announced, will be using older technology as Intel has had to keep pushing Haswell while Broadwell was delayed. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more info. In the meantime anyone else looking forward to a potentially new Mac mini?
