Hmmm, can I play SC2 on high settings on a 1920x1080 and get 40fps+?
No. No you cannot.

Insert PCIe Dual or Quad ethernet port (plus a fiber channel or whatever card) and you have a worthwhile server for halve the price of the original.
Anyone going to use the new Mac mini to build a render farm? Looking for some tips... I.e. is CPU the most important variable?
The benchmark score for the Intel 4000 is 523 vs. Intel Radeon HD 6330M @ 271?
I'm thinking the 2.6Ghz quad is in my future. I don't really need a laptop as much anymore, with the iPad, and I've got a 24" Samsung LED LCD that I'm quite fond of.
Between this and the iMac, the only pros that need the Mac Pro have been dwindled down to maybe 750-1000 potential customers possibly?
Apple should have a desktop computer in between the Mini and the Mac Pro. Something that's easy to upgrade, fits multiple hard drives and SSDs, and has a dedicated video card, perhaps even a PCI slot. The Mac Pro is too extreme, and the iMac is hard to service. At least the Fusion Drive should come with a 256GB SSD.
The Mini is a nice computer to carry between work and home. Assuming you already have a set of monitors, and you aren't using the machine on a train or something. I hardly ever use my MacBook Pro's internal display, keyboard and touch pad. It's always closed down. The new Mac Mini would be nice with a dedicated video card. It would fit comfortably in my backpack.

Do we know yet if the OWC dual disk tray for last years mini will fit the new minis?
... when you don't buy it from Apple
Is it even necessary anymore with USB 3.0 being present on the new Mac Mini?
meet the all new Mac Pro: the Mac mini. (???)
I did the same thing, had a 08 15" MBP. I only used it with an external monitor, since I had the iPad. Took it to bestbuy, they gave me $800 for it last year. and bought a mac mini.
