Thoughts on SSD speeds?

"That's almost half the price the iMac and would leave you $1,600 for a monitor —except that you lose $400 of that if you add flash storage to the Mac mini that's comparable with the iMac's." "The 5K display is detailed and color-accurate, using the same exact panel that comes in LG's UltraFine 5K display. Bought separately, that display retails for $1,300. " "The iMac also comes with Apple's Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard in the box, so you don't have to worry about buying peripherals." ($178) "you can easily hook up an eGPU with the same Radeon 580 graphics card that comes in the top-spec iMac 5K for around than $500 total."

So to bring the Mac mini up to the same features and specs as the iMac 5K it would cost $4,078 TOTAL ($1700 + $400 + $1300 + $178 + $500)! Buying the iMac 5K in this example would save you almost $800 compared to a similarly configured Mac mini!

It obviously makes more sense to get the iMac if you want the 5K display. The Mac Mini makes a lot of sense for someone who already has a mouse, keyboard, and display on hand. Or, just someone who's fine with a cheap 4K monitor. If they already have a supported GPU to put into an eGPU enclosure, even better. 

I can tell you right now, the chances of Apple buying out Activision are slim to none.

The US needs to produce more babies. Apple needs to diversify its supply chain more. 

The U.S. doesn't have a problem producing babies. It has a problem keeping them.
