How about having a f*& ing headphone jack? Did the tests measure that?

And I bet the damn things don’t have a floppy disc drive. I’ll find out when mine is delivered this Wednesday. ;-).
Why do you need an antique interface? Why do you want to be tethered to a 1.4 pound device when you could walk around listening to your music without it even being near you? Alternately there are other solutions that do the same thing better if you absolutely want to be tethered to the device by a white cable. There are headphones that plug right into the USB-C jack on the device that work just fine but why bother?
Why would one need a headphone jack when one expects everyone else in the cafe/airport/train/funeral parlour to listen to the same head-banging pop as oneself?
Ya. It's stuff like that, that keeps me away from Apple computers. I like and respect the hardware, but I need a bit more flexibility in my life.
I recently put together a new media server based on the Intel NUC platform. It is directly comparable to the Mac Mini in form-factor and general specs. I'm amazed at the performance I get out of the thing, especially considering it is a fanless PC. I loaded Linux Mint on it and generally find the box to be a better performer overall than my desktop. Of course, my desktop is about 8 years old, so that's hardly surprising, but it's still cool to see how this stuff keeps progressing.
I've actually considered building another with more ram, and a bigger drive as a desktop replacement, but upon thinking about it, I like the flexibility I get with a more traditional case. I'm probably going to wait 2 more years before building a new desktop. It ought to scream like a bat outta hell.
