Hello, My understanding of the Mac Mini is that they do have significant issues if you do not have a monitor attached. Several on this list have recommendations for pseudo monitors if you don’t want to find an inexpensive display to connect to your Mac Mini. Jonathan > On Jun 12, 2018, at 4:21

I'd definitely wait. My mother is looking to replace her 2012 Pro, and that's my advice to her as well. The 2016 and 2017 Pros have the new butterfly key mechanism in their keyboards, and it's very prone to damage from debris which other keyboards would just shrug off. I'm hoping that is addres
