Neither am I, my Mid 2010 C2D Mac mini still does everything I need it to 
I’ve been very pleased with my Studio Displays. They were a long time coming but worth the wait.
I’ve got one of each
Unless you're a student or know a student, there's no way around it. Trust me, I've tried
You’re too late. I’ve called shotgun alreadyDibs.
This is the important thing. For an average user, the speed of these devices (even if the base model storage is slower than last year), is not just adequate, it’s blisteringly fast.
Is this due in MM soon?
It’s not bad. It’s small and it’s not as fast than the smallest one in the previous model but by no stretch of the imagination can it be called bad.
I’d really like a Mac Mini for my office computer but I still need Parallels to run an old version of OSX for two particular pieces of software. Very frustrating.
Looks as though I could be grabbing a Mini next year sometime to use in the office. I won't need much, it'll largely be used to rdp into a work laptop. I'll be replacing a 2017 iMac so I'll need a display as well. At the moment I have the iMac and an Asus 28" monitor so perhaps I should get another one to give me a pair. I won't need high spec, basic model with a bit more memory and perhaps an ssd size increase.
The M1 version would do perfectly but I can’t bring myself to buy one that’s effectively a three year old model because it will potentially go obsolete three years earlier than if I buy the current gen when I’m ready.
That's a really good point actually. I never thought I'd use all the ports on my Studio but everything (except the HDMI) on the back has something plugged into it.
The event which is traditionally mainly software?
I wouldn't be surprised if the M4 Studio is a silent update, one which just appears one day.
Is there an M4 Mac mini?
I can't deny that I'd quite like to replace the old iMac I run in the office with a spanky new Mini. Not that there's anything whatsoever wrong with the iMac except that it's old. All I use it for is to RDP into my work laptop and if I were to replace it, I'd have to buy another Studio display because I'm so used to the iMac 5k monitor.
Updated the thread title.
Is that a price drop? Base M4 with 16G for £599. Wasn't it £649 before?

The old model would have been £649 + £200 to take it to 16Gb and + £200 to take it to 512 Gb making it £1049.
Now it's £599 + £200 to take it to 512 Gb making it £799 for the two jumps in CPU, 16Gb memory and a 512 Gb SSD. I think that's damn good!
