Why is it taking so long for the ivy bridge mac mini?

None of your fellow users here would know that, sorry.

Minis rarely seem to get updated when the other updates happen, but yes. I Wants My Precious.

Especially if they fit those 35W quadcore i7s in the BETTER or BEST model along with a real video card.

Past history seems to indicate the following update

sequence:

Notebooks->iMacs->eventually Minis

Note the lack of Mac Pros in that sequence! 🙂...or rather...😠

Tim Cook had mentioned to a reporter a WWDC that

the Mac Pro was "supposed" to get a refresh in 2013.

we'll see.

The Pro has been in the doldrums for several years

and lagging behind the rest of the world and even

Macs themselves (See Geekbench for current iMacs vs. Pros).
