The new Mac Mini isn’t just cute as hell, it’s also extremely versatile. It’s only been out a few weeks and there’s already some really interesting uses. Action Retro combined it with a legacy iMac G4 to turn it into an iMac. Before watching the video, I wondered if he’d even take the Mac mini guts out of that small case. (He did.)
This doesn’t surprise me since it seems like this is Apple’s intention. Rather than buy a big iMac, they want you to get a Mac mini along with a large screen. (Like Apple’s own Studio Display!) But Action Retro brings it to a whole new level.
Alex Cheema takes a different route. He combines four separate Mac Minis into a mini AI cluster. And they’re able to run a huge model with an array of four Mac Minis. It’s only a question of time before someone makes one out of ten or twenty.
And finally, if you want Mac Mini power but like the Mac Pro’s look, there’s this cute 3D print where you can have them both.
