Maybe in the latter part of January a new Mac Mini might arrive.
This is very possible and is one reason I think the current model is dead. If they where to just bump the processor it could have been done already and this be ready for holiday sales. They didn't do this so I suspect that the machine will morph into something else. January would be the time for new product introductions traditionally.
Yeah, but Apple's not introducing a Mini update this close to Christmas. Simultaneous with the Pro would have been the only real option.
You are probably right! Still this highlights the state of the machine, no update before Christmas sales kinda indicates that the machine is in suspended animation if you will. It isn't like Intel hasn't had the chips for ages now.

Just posted about this in the Pro thread: The Mini is now the only real rackable choice for OS X server.
Maybe this is part of the redesign? Removing the internal power supply would make it smaller (an Apple favourite), and more rack friendly.
I'm now even more hungry for a mini for 2014 or whatever they replace it with if they replace it. Right now after some thought, I can do without it because I need clothes more. Looking to pick up some hooded sweatshirts and a Carhartt jacket among other things.

You sound conflicted.

Clothes are a more essential than computers.This is more logical thinking to think what you are going to wear than same dumb mac mini.
For once, marv and I will agree. The world must be ending.
Iris would have been enough for me and Iris Pro would have been even better. Coming up in 2014, I'll see what happens. The bottom line is that I don't want a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, and the iMac is too big for my liking.
I actually would take a Mac Pro with a 4K display though. It's way out of my budget right now though.
That is highly debatable. For a good part of the year you don't really need cloths. For the times that you do any rag will do.

Nothing logical about it, a person wears cloths because of the weather or societies norms. If you spend time dwellings on what you wear that is vanity coming through. Nothing logical at all about vanity.
On the other hand choosing the proper computer takes much in the way of logical thinking.
I like to walk on the boardwalk (I live in NJ) and it gets colder near the ocean and my Raiders jacket is not really suitable for long walks in cold weather. I need something that keeps me warm.
I had waited for a long time for a new Mac mini and Apple didn't deliver and now my motivation has kind of evaporated. The jacket I want is about $85. A new Mac mini would be around $600 or more. The choice is easy.
Granted that a Haswell mini would be an even more exceptional value but that's probably why it doesn't exist. While the quad i7 iMac is much faster it also weighs in at $1699. $700 is a lot to pay for a GPU.
It's a shame that Intel has killed external GPU thunderbolt solutions by not certifying any.

Dyson makes computers?
You saw the new mac pro right? Who do you think makes that?

You do have a few shopping days to go though.

Dyson makes trash cans?
Mind you I'm sitting here with envy for anybody with a new Mac Pro.

Blah no love for dyson
. Look at the resemblance.
The canister is just a different shade and plastic rather than metal.

Hopefully we both are right on this.
Anyway, back to the mini talk.
I run shorts and a t-shirt myself until it hits the 20s. Then I need gloves and earmuffs.

What can I say; I don’t get cold.

That is obvious go for the jacket naturally and keep yourself warm especially in the winter.
The current Mini is quickly becoming a very bad value with the advent of much better APU type chips.
Actually the mini is still an exceptional value in the Apple line up. $899 buys you a quad core i7 faster than the lower end MBP.
