The only ports that are gone are the SD card slot, and separate mic jack
Edit: no CD Drive in the last one.
The previous generation Mac Mini did not have an optical drive either, so that is not removed.
The last Mac Mini didn’t have a DVD drive either. I think the others were already expected to be removed.
the previous generation already dropped the superdrive.

Yeah I see the issue, but I've had plenty of laptops without CD Drives. SD card would be cool I guess. Mic jack for sure.
But overall, I’m liking the new Mac Mini. Updated processors, new Thunderbolt ports, and new color: I can’t see anyone feeling like they’ve lost anything here.
