Got my wife set up with a new mac mini over the weekend. As much as I grumble about some things Apple does, it was generally quite painless to get it set up and easy to fix the few things that didn't work right out of the box.

  I'm more pro-Mac than most, but I wouldn't even consider one for games.
  
  There's definitely an odd hole in their lineup. Why no minitower that can accommodate a video card and a few internal hard drives?

  To me the hardware Apple sells is secondary and a necessary evil to get software from a company that isn't mining my data for monetization purposes. I'm a long-time Mac guy going back to the 90s, but their desktop hardware these days is baffling. Surely they have market research that backs what they're doing, but man, I feel underserved by the Mini in its GPU-less state.

  I've used Macs professionally for over 30 years, manage several Mac-only labs, and have spent millions of our college's dollars on Apple. Up until a few years ago I was still a fan of their lineup. But not any more. Their laptops and iMacs have stagnated, and they've effectively abandoned the rest of the desktop market. All that's left is an underpowered Mini, and a Mac Pro aimed at the ultra-high-end.
  
  Don't even get me started on the iMac "Pro".
