FULL STORY ====================================================================== The date has finally been set for Apples annual announcement event WWDC , and we expect some new AI announcements alongside software refreshes like macOS Sonoma updates and a peak at iOS 18 . While thats all pretty exciting, Im not interested in any of that! What I want to see is an M3 Mac mini - in pink. Now, I know right off the back that sounds a little outlandish. Asking for an M3 Mac mini seems pretty reasonable to me, though - I mean, Apple launched the M2 Mac mini last year in January, so itll be almost a year and a half by the time WWDC kicks off on June 10, 2024. The MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac have been updated with the M3 chip , so its about time the Mac mini got the same treatment. The M3 chip was announced at Apples Scary Fast event last October and has proven to be the best processor Apple has put out so far. The system-on-a-chip (SoC) has the same 8-core CPU architecture as the M2 chip but offers better performance thanks to the increased number of transistors on the chip. Multi-core CPU tests were up 18%, which bodes well for people who need a laptop that can handle hefty video-rendering tasks without breaking a sweat. Prettier in pink I use an M1 Mac mini almost every day for work or my own writing and online shopping (lots of online shopping), and Ive been waiting for the Mac mini to not just get an updated chip but to join the iMac in getting some more colorful designs. I adore the colors of the iMac , but I could never commit to buying one of the best all-in-ones with the current size of my desktop setup at home. The Mac mini is the perfect size for me and honestly looks super cute - just imagine how much cuter it could be if it came in color! Mac minis are so versatile and used by all sorts of creative people like movie makers, musicians, artists, and more. I think adding a splash of color would lend the same uniqueness and icon status that iMac already enjoys. Out of the two, the iMac has more of a market share than the Mac mini , and having an interesting design change could be a start for making the Mac mini more popular. Apple wouldnt even need to start with a whole new color palette - the colors of the iMac are perfect as they are and could easily be transferred over to the mini PCs! The pink iMac is my absolute favorite, and I cant even imagine how adorable it would be to have a pastel pink Mac mini on my desk. But setting my Barbie-themed computing dreams aside, I do really hope we see the Mac mini get an M3 refresh. You might also like...
