Kept laughing to myself during Apple’s talk today every time they described how much faster these Macs are compared to the last revisions. They _should_ be that much faster when you compare them to 4 year old computers…

Looks like the low-end 6 core CPU might not have Hyper-Threading. That extra $200 is well worth it if this is the case.
Looks like the high end Mac Mini CPU is the Core i7-8700. It scores 5304 on single core and 23010 on multi-core, which is 46% faster on single core and 31% faster on multi-core than my 2013 6 core Mac Pro.
I was planning to replace a 2012 Mac Mini server, but it’s tempting to use it as my desktop until the new Mac Pros are finally ready.
Any idea of what the Geekbench scores are for the 6 core CPUs in the new Mac Minis?
Really nice to see 10Gbe at just a $100 option though.
Apple Store is back up. $1400 for the 64GB RAM option on the Mac Mini. Another $1400 for the 2TB SSD option.
This is the final image in my series of photos taken at the Traverse City State Hospital. Many thanks again go to Christian VanAntwerpen for an excellent tour. ?

This shot shows some of the tunnels were more functional than others. I liked seeing the infrastructure to be honest…it gave the tunnel a modern purpose.
Here’s a rundown of my new 4TB SSD setup using OWC’s Mercury Elite Pro Dual mini:
This misty tunnel was awesome. There were tunnels between several of the buildings, but this one was particularly photogenic. The underground area was much cooler than it was outside on the hot and humid day. The humidity caused some misty fog to form, which was really cool.
If Apple releases the rumored “Pro Mac Mini” on October 30th, then we’ll have a Pro iMac, a Pro Mac Mini, and a Pro MacBook Pro, yet still no Pro Mac Pro.
More power! I didn’t spend too long in this old power plant because there was airborne asbestos on site, but I did grab a couple of shots inside and this was my favorite.
The symbolism…Sometimes even democracy needs to be renovated with some TLC.?
I’m not sure what this room used to be, but it almost looked like an old classroom. The graffiti was everywhere, of course, but in this case I felt like it gave the room even more character.
For this photo I captured a bracketed exposure so I could restore some of the outside view from this room in an HDR image. The building was up on a hill and to look outside with all the trees was something to behold.
When I saw this scene in one of the attics, I almost felt like someone was there on the bed. The light was just reflecting around the area in such a unique way. It made me stop for a few moments just to appreciate it.?
If you’re in the Florida panhandle, please take this storm seriously and stay safe!
My wife, Katrina, had a hurricane take over her name. Now with Michael reaching a category 4, it’s looking increasingly likely that people will be associating my name with a hurricane for quite some time. :-/
I could spend all day watching the light coming in through the windows in this room. Imagine it hitting the far wall for the first time in the morning, then watch it bend onto the floor and move across the room before sunset. What’s your favorite display of light?
Spent some time with the drone out along Lake Ontario a few months ago. Finally got around to putting together a video.
Really B&H? You shipped 4TB of SSDs in this packaging? Arrived days late too.
