OK, I'll do just that. Again, thanks greatly.

Maybe if you check out the new Mac Mini page on the Apple site, you'll be
able to look at the general specs for the current models and essentially
compare them to what you know to have in your 2012 model. There are various
options for customization, of course, but you might get an overall sense of
what's different. Keep in mind, as mentioned in another thread, clock speeds
are lower in number but processor performance has increased in the current
models, especially for the I7 upgrades.

I have no idea what the differences are because I've never used the 2012
model. You can probably find a list of differences online somewhere.

What're the biggest differences in the new mac mini from what I own? I
have the Mini late 2012 I5 2.5 GHZ, and have upgraded it to 8GB of ram as
aposed to the 4GB it normally came with. I also have the default
configuration of the 500GB internal hard disk, and currently am running
it on 10.9.5 Mavericks. I don't want to upgrade it to Yosemite until the
Safari Voiceover bugs are worked out, as well as Avid officially
approving ProTools with 10.0. I know it works now whith some incredibly
minor Voiceover issues, but I'd rather just hold off until I get those
issues resolved. Besides, I actually really really like Mavericks anyway.

I don't know what people's experiences have been with Mac Minis in the
past. There have been many stories about whether a monitor was necessary
and I suppose it depended upon the model and interface among other
things. I simply wanted to share an observation about the new Mac Mini
regarding it's operation with and without a monitor.
In the case of using an HDMI cable, make sure your monitor display is
powered on and on the correct input source because VoiceOver will be
routed to the display by default. You can certainly change this but, once
you plug it in, even on the fly, the default sound output of the computer
will be the HDMI device.
Now, regarding "headless operation," the Mac Mini will function without a
display attached and voiceOver will work fine and all. I found that
voiceOver was noticeably sluggish. I thought at first that this was just
a new problem with Yosemite and was admittedly a bit worried. I operated
headless on the Mac Mini for a day or two while making some adjustments
to the OS before connecting the control room monitor which shares an
input source from another computer. As soon as I connected the Mac Mini
to the display, VoiceOver sort of rebooted and I was prompted with the
default "Getting Started" pre-recorded tutorial. This was a bit unusual,
I thought, but then VoiceOver began behaving normally, not sluggish but
quite fast.
Again, there have been various scenarios over the years and I haven't
heard anybody mention anything about the new Mac Minis and displays,
running headless, etc. Thought it might help someone.
