Yeah, i'm unimpressed with the increased pricetag on the bottom end model and it's system specs. Guess i'll hold onto my dollars for a little longer.

Could have been faster than that.. C'mon.. its PC tech in there! And yeah, the price hike is bad news too. Apple wont be tempting PC users away from their dull boxes if they keep h…

Interesting to see the Apple debut of the Core Solo. I wonder what the performance on that will be like.

OMG!!!!! Intel GMA950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory Hell no.

Just glad to see that they didn't neuter options for the mini as some people were speculating by making it Core Solo only. The new mini will make a great little server with the ex…

Gah! Intel graphics chip with 64 MB SHARED VIDEO MEMORY?!? The mini's graphics went from sorta-okay to crummy, cruddy, CRAPPY.

The pricetag really isn't that bad considering the new hardware features they added. That and the Core processors aren't as cheap as G4s, I'm sure. Apple isn't just marketing thi…

What i find interesting is that on the Apple site they only show comparison benchmarks for the older 1.2ghz Mac mini G4 and even then only compare that to the Core Duo version . . …

Shared Video. Bummer.

"Intel GMA950 graphics processor with 64MB of shared DDR2 SDRAM" Heck, that's worse than what it had before!

GMA 950 graphics. I wonder what that means for real-world performance. My guess it that stuff like Aperture won't be allowed to run at all on it, but it will be fine for CoreImage…

I have up in the air about the move to Intel until now. That is an outragous price to pay for only shared video. What a POS. The is the first Mac to come out that is nothing but a …

What makes me really sad is the fact that a 1199 $ or 1299 $ price tag for the iBooks seems to be obvious now.

Yeah, it's a bummer that we're back to shared video, but fear not. CoreImage and Quartz Extreme WILL run fine on these little guys (speaking from experience when it comes to the GM…

it was between this and an imac...i waited...saw...gettin an imac thank you very much. this WILL be a great media server for a dedicated monitor or television..no doubt about it. …

Also, didn't Steve mention that you could hook it up to the TV? When I read that it looked as though it was finally a media center type deal. But looking at the Apple site it doe…

Why not have the mini almost the same as the iMac but without the LCD. That way consumers and choose their own display, if they want cheap, they buy cheap. Moving to intergrated …

[quote=Will I buy one? No. I need way more power than that in a desktop. But then again, they aren't aimed at people who need power. I'm not exactly ecstatic about these, but it co…

Actually, I'm not surprised by the video choice. I'm not impressed by it, but not surprised. Remember, most people who buy the mini really couldn't give a chit about the video spe…
