Or it can upgrade its performance with the tradeoff of making the computer somewhat bulkier. It can leave it as it is - dated, but still visually pleasant and quite portable. It can make the computer thinner and smaller at the cost of peak performance.
There are three ways Apple could go with the 2018 Mac Mini design. Regardless, here’s what Apple might change in the 2018 Mac Mini in terms of design, specs, and price - and also the possible release date.
