Isikhathi esithile ivele ngokungaqondakali imodeli ye-quad-core yeMac Mini kusuka ngo-2012 esitolo se-Apple ngentengo engu- $ 699, yebo, kubonakale kuphela esitolo se-Apple saseMelika, abaningi bacabange ukuthi kungaba yisinyathelo esenziwe yi-Apple ukususa isitokwe esisele salolu hlobo kulawo mazwe.
Ngokuqondile, imodeli igcine ukucaciswa okufanayo nokwasekuqaleni okuvele ngaphezulu kweminyaka emibili edlule, okungukuthi, iprosesa ye-Intel Core i7 @ 2,3 Ghz, 4 Gb of Ram kanye ne-Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip chip, ngaphezu kokuba ne-OS Kufakwe kuqala i-X Mavericks. Kubuye kwacatshangelwa ukuthi ngabe lesi sinyathelo uzophendula ngokufunwa ngabasebenzisi Bathuthele inkampani ngemodeli ye-quad-core, baphinda bangenisa iMac mini futhi ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esishiwo ngenhla.
Ekugcineni kubonakala sengathi amanzi abuyele enkambweni yawo futhi i-Apple ibuyisele izinto emuva ngendlela ebeyiyiyo, ngakho-ke imodeli yango-2012 enezinsimbi ezine iphinde yanyamalala futhi unikeza i-2,8 Ghz enesisindo esiphambili njengobubanzi bebanga. Kumele kube yiphutha ngesikhathi kugcinwa iwebhusayithi futhi le nketho "ingene ngokunyenya" ngaphandle kokuthi ikwazi ukuchaza kahle ukuthi kungani lokhu kwenzeke.
Kunoma ikuphi, bekuvele kusolwa ukuthi kumele kwenzeke okuthile okuxakile, ngoba le modeli ibingatholakali kunoma yisiphi esinye isitolo esiku-inthanethi kwamanye amazwe nezifunda lapho i-Apple inesitolo sayo sewebhu esitholakalayo. Njengamanje okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuthola le modeli ngohlelo lwezinto eziphindwayo olwenziwe yi-Apple kumakhasimende. ngezaphulelo ezithakazelisayo, kepha lokho akuqinisekisi ukugeleza okuqhubekayo kwesitoko.
Ngokombono wami, yize imodeli entsha iyi ukukhuluma ngokwonga amandla futhi amandla ayo ekusetshenzisweni kwehluzo makhulu ngemajini encane, akulona iqiniso elincane ukuthi i-Apple yona ngesici se- inganikeli iprosesa ye-quad-core njengenketho, lapho njengamanje izinhlelo nezinhlelo eziningi zisebenzisa lowo mthamo owengeziwe ukuthola okuningi ngehardware lapho zisebenza khona. Ngalokhu angisho ukuthi ama-cores amabili ayasilela kumsebenzisi ojwayelekile lowo mkhiqizo obhekiswe kuye, kepha kunalokho ukuthi bekungavele kukhethwe njengenketho yabasebenzisi abaningi "abaphambili".
