An Apple A Day...

In this age of large smartphones and laptops, there’s actually still room for the “family computer”—a reliable desktop that is speedy, can handle basic tasks and preferably comes in a small package. This is exactly the kind of role that the Apple Mac Mini is built for. Some people might still remember the last, rather disappointing Mini from back in 2014, but the 2018 model is certainly doing a good job of rectifying most of its predecessor’s shortcomings. It’s still not something you want to take up if you’re doing stuff like graphic design or video editing, but the Mini has a fast CPU along with extensive options for add-ons and expendable storage. All in all, it’s quite the dependable daily workhorse.
