Ngaba uyamangaliswa kukuba ndithetha ngeCupertino's Mac mini? Ndibuza oku kuba kunikezelo lwamva nje luka-Apple, le khompyuter, kunye neMac Pro, iyaqhubeka nokuba yeyona ilityalwayo kakhulu ngaphakathi kweApple ecosystem ngokwekhompyuter. Abantu abaninzi namhlanje abakayiqondi indlela i-Apple engayihoyi ngayo imveliso oko kunokuzisa ingeniso eninzi ukuba bayinike i-facelift kwaye i-Mac mini ininzi kakhulu i-Mac mini.
Kwi-Keynote yokugqibela i-Apple igxile ekulungiseni kakuhle i-12-intshi ye-MacBook kunye ne-MacBook Pro kunye nangaphandle kwe-Touch Bar, kodwa, nangona kunjalo, akukho nto konke konke malunga neyona nto incinci yosapho. IMac mini iseyikhompyuter enkulu, compact kakhulu kwaye igqibelele kumawaka eemeko, ngakumbi ukuba sibhekisa kwicandelo lezemfundo.
Ngaba intengiso iphantsi kakhulu? Mac mini? Ngaba iMac mini ifile yodwa okanye itshatyalalisiwe ngenxa yobuvila? Yintoni ecacileyo kukuba ukuba i-Apple ayibonisi iimpawu zobomi malunga nohlaziyo kuzo zombini uyilo kunye ne-hardware ye-Mac mini, kungenxa yokuba imizamo yayo ayigxininisi ngoku kule mveliso. Eyona nto ifunwa nguApple kukuzihlaziya kwaye ibe neenketho ezintsha yenza abalandeli abaninzi ngakumbi beze kwaye ubungqina boku yiApple Watch, iHomePod, iPencil yeApple, iiAirPods...
Xa kuziwa kwiikhompyuter, kubonakala ngathi abathengi bafuna izinto zibe lula kwaye ngoku kunokwenzeka ngakumbi ukuthenga iMac ngqo ngaphandle kwebhokisi kwaye akufuneki wenze nantoni na ukuqala ukuyisebenzisa kunokuthenga iMac mini okanye iMac Pro kwaye ube nayo. ukujonga eyona ndlela ibalaseleyo yesikrini kuyo. Abathengi banamhlanje bafuna iikhompyuter ezisebenzisekayo ngoko nangoko kunye neApple egxile kwiiMacBooks kunye nee-iMacs.
Kuyo yonke le nto ngokuqinisekileyo kutheni iApple ivumela iMac mini ukuba ibhubhe, endiyibona njengempazamo enkulu kwaye kukuba kwiindawo ezinjengecandelo lezemfundo iya kuba licandelo apho. Ezi ntlobo zeekhompyuter ziya kuba luncedo kakhulu kumawaka eebhodi ezimhlophe zedijithali ezidityanisiweyo kwaye ezifuna iikhompyuter ezixineneyo ukuba zisebenze.. Inyani yile, bendiziva ndilusizi namhlanje xa, ngenxa yombuzo ovela kumlingane malunga nokuba ezi ntlobo zekhompyuter zisenokwenzeka na, kuye kwafika kum ukuba uApple uzilibele. Ndiyaxolisa kakhulu...ndicinga...RIP Mac mini. Ingaba ucinga ntoni?
Abakhathali, yeyona nto inexabiso eliphantsi, kunye neyona inezibalo ezingcono zokungaqhawuki, umatshini omangalisayo kunye nomncedisi ongakholelekiyo !!!
Ndinenye ukusuka ku-2011, ndongeze i-RAM kwaye kutshanje i-SSD, imnandi. Umatshini olungileyo kakhulu, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ndingathenga omnye ukuba kufuneka ndihlaziye. Kum kubonakala kuyimpazamo ukuba bayishiye ecaleni.
Ukuqala kwam ukungena kwihlabathi le-MAC OS ndaqala ukuthenga iMac Mini esesibini (2006). Ebudeni beminyaka ibikwinkonzo yam, le MAC indinike iziphumo ezibalaseleyo. Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ndaphinda ndathenga enye iMac Mini yesandla yesibini (2011) apho kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ndonyusa i-RAM kwaye ndatshintsha i-HDD ye-SSD hard drive. Zinexabiso eliphantsi, zilukhuni njengazo, zithe cwaka, azithathi nto kwaye zitya kancinci kakhulu.
Ndangena kwihlabathi le-MAC kunye ne-Mac mini ukusuka ku-2011. Kwaye nanini na kufuneka nditshintshe okanye ndithenge iMac, ndingakhetha le modeli.
Kodwa uthini? I-Mac Pro elityelweyo? Kodwa ngaba ulibonile inqaku eliphambili? I-36 xeon cores kunye ne-128GB yenkunzi yegusha ibonakala "ilityalwe" kuwe?
Kuya kufuneka uzazise kakuhle, kuba kwi-Keynote yokugqibela oko kwavezwa yinto ecwangciswe nguApple nge-IMAC PRO, hayi iMAC PRO. Ngokumalunga nokuba ndiyayazi na into ethethwe kwi-Keynote…EWE…bendiyibukele ngomzuzu nomzuzu. Kodwa ndiyabulela ngegalelo lakho, nokuba liyakunceda ukuba uqonde ukuba uthetha izinto ongazithethanga.
