Today we announce the death of the mac mini…

@octothorpe Aw, I was hoping for an entire Mac in this form factor. (And next year, the Mac Shuffle.)

@nuthatch @octothorpe It's gotta be light enough to lift up to press the power button.... what a weird placement.

also yes it's super cute and now I'm like hhmmm I can still return my M2 for a full refund (my saga of the old one dying) and come out net positive spend wise.

@jwilker @nuthatch Wait, the power button is on the bottom?!?!

@octothorpe @nuthatch LOL Yup

CM Harrington

@jwilker @nuthatch ::sigh::

At least it's not a USB port

CM Harrington

@troublewithwords I really liked that iteration.

Steven Hoefer

@octothorpe It was my favorite, really affected how I listened to music. Felt great in the hand, just big enough to be easy to use, but small enough to be carried without any thought whatsoever.

And then phones came along and ruined it all.

CM Harrington

@troublewithwords I've actually gone back to a stand-alone DAP.

IT HAS A HEADPHONE JACK!!!

@octothorpe @jwilker timeline goes sideways

CM Harrington

@nuthatch @jwilker it just occurred to me that it’s only on the bottom if you want the metal side up.
