If you’ve been considering pulling the trigger on a brand new, super-tiny desktop PC from Apple, you might want to wait a month.

According to MacRumors(Opens in a new window), Apple is working on an update to its Mac mini, which hasn’t seen a hardware refresh since late 2012. Since then, Mac mini update rumors have been scant, save for the brief hint of a “mid-2014 Mac mini” model (accidentally?) posted to a Boot Camp support page(Opens in a new window) in July.

Right now, the Mac mini is the only system in Apple’s lineup that has yet to receive a boost up to Intel Haswell processors. Though, an update hitting within the next month would be a little odd, timing-wise, given that Intel’s Broadwell processors are expected to debut in early 2015. It would seem a little strange for Apple to go through the trouble of updating the Mac mini to a chip that will be one step back from the top in just a small amount of time.

It’s likely that the Mac mini will use the same chips found in the Apple Macbook Pro released in July. These systems used CPUs from Intel’s Haswell refresh, a stopgap measure that boosted the speed of Haswell chips while keeping their prices similar to their predecessors; presumably to tide over those waiting for Broadwell to hit.

That said, with the Mac mini having gone for just around two years with nary a tweak, perhaps Apple is just interested in getting anything current that it can in the hands of new, potential purchasers. That could also include other updates like faster storage and stronger wireless-ac networking, to highlight two possibilities suggested by MacRumors.

While MacRumors’ source was unable to identify any specific areas of the Mac mini that would receive a boost with Apple’s update, the source did confirm—as best an anonymous source can—that Apple will indeed be updating the Mac mini next month. The refresh will come alongside rumored updates to Apple’s iPads, as well as the likely official release of OS X Yosemite.
