I’m very skeptical of Apple’s benchmarks. It reminds me of the Cheech and Chong routine about the dog poop! I look forward to seeing some real user benchmarks and experience with the new Macs on video and photo processing. I hope the 8GB mini can really way outperform my 2014 MacBook Pro 15” Retina with i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. If so, then the mini would be a no brainer at just $700! We will see...
