MacRumorUser macrumors Demi-God Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Ireland	Integrated Graphics. Told you so.. I was flamed a while back for suggesting that in the lower end mac products, they would use integrated graphics.. 'No way', 'Apple would never do that' was the response with a myriad of posters posting links pointing out that Apple marketing slags of integrated graphics chips and that would mean they were going back on their own words.... OH sweet Irony, Well I just had to take this second to say - I told you so... Intel Ibook will have integrated too, Mark my words Price is a bit steep now as well 889 Euro for the duo core version in Ireland. so much for their budget system... __________________ A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.

MacRumorUser Thread Starter macrumors Demi-God Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Ireland	What's even more funny Take a new intel mac mini. 1.67 core duo Upgrade ram to 2Gb Upgrade Hd to 120gb Add wired Keyboard & mouse Add 20" Cinema Display Total Eur 2,271.9 --------------------- Take a 20" iMac Core Duo 2Ghz core duo Upgrade Ram to 2gb Upgrade VideoCard to 256mb Total Eur 2,229.01 50 Euro cheaper and a far better purchase? (better processor, better Hard Drive, proper GFX card) WTF are apple doing with pricing these days???. So much for those saying the switch to intel would bring cheaper prices... 2nd prediction: Intel iBook will cost more than current models...... __________________ A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.

Mac mini isn't supposed to represent best value nor supposed to compete with iMac. Like iBook vs. PowerBook before it, Mac mini is suppose to serve different markets. If Mac mini has all that iMac has, and for less, who on earth would buy iMac?

Haha, its not a big deal in a system like the mini, but Id be surprised to see Apple not have dedicated graphics at atleast one price point in the iBooks, espeically if theyre getting rid of the 12" PowerBook. Also, the iBook has more flexibility at its current price than the Mini did.
