Mac mini
Like the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the Mac
mini was one of the first Macs to get an M
processor in late 2020, but there’s still an
Intel model available for sale. Not for long,
though. We’re expecting the higher-end
Mac mini to arrive in 2022 with a new
design and faster processor. According to
reports (fave.co/3jXsque), it’s going to
have the same M1 Pro and M1 Max chips
that power the new MacBook Pros, along
with a new thinner design. It’ll also
reportedly have four Thunderbolt ports,
32GB or 64GB of RAM, and a magnetic
power cable like that of the 24-inch iMac.
We also assume it’ll have the same USB-A
ports and HDMI ports that are on the
current Mac mini, which could make it one
of the best desktop machines around.MacBook Air
The most anticipated new release of
2022 is the redesigned MacBook Air
(fave.co/3BzFTi7), which is expected to
bring a major redesign, with a faster M
processor, better display (possibly mini-
LED with a notch but no ProMotion), and a
variety of colors to match the 24-inch
iMac. Additionally, the inside bezels might
be white to match the iMac as well, which
we’re sure would be a polarizing feature.
We’re not sure if it would be a
replacement for the existing MacBook Air,We’re expecting to see a higher-end Mac mini in 2022.
