Apple should release a Mac maxi. It's essentially the same like a Mac mini (or multiple of them!), but housed in a larger case that allows for storage (or compute) expansion. You could inject more compute by slotting in more Mac mini mainboards\/or just whole mini's (similar to a NeXTcube). And have space for spinning disks or M2's. It wouldn't necessarily provide more performance, i.e. it is specifically not a Mac Pro, but expansion.
I know, it won't happen. But I bet it would sell.<\/p>","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-07-05:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/users\/helge\/statuses\/116133619887232773","object":{"id":"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/users\/helge\/statuses\/116133619887232773","objectType":"note","content":"
