Apple Feb 28th Media Event Coverage

[age234]

Well, we got our "headless iMac" with the Mac Mini. Now let's start clamoring for a "gutless Mini", which ONLY streams stuff to your TV and nothing else. That's what I'm talking about.

 

[Legacy]

1.5ghz Core Solo 667 mhz fsb, 512mb memory, integrated graphics 60GB drive, combo drive - $599
Second model with Core Duo - 1.67, 80GB drive + SuperDrive - $799

But what graphics??

I'm going to order the $799 as soon as the store comes back online. WOAH MAMA!!!

Ok this ruined it..I can take a $100 increase, but NOT integrated graphics! ewwww u ruined yourself Apple...

 

[contempt]

Only 80gb??? What's with that?

 

[briangig]

DAMN...800 dollar mini...i dunno...that seems like alot of money just to use it for a link to the TV.

 

[Mass Hysteria]

Hasn't been announced yet but I think its fair to assume that its still got 2.5" hdds so probably an absolute max of 120GB.

er . . . I just bought a 160GB 2.5

 

[Spanky Deluxe]

Hang on, did that say integrated graphics?? I hope that doesn't mean an Intel 950GM thingumybob...

Oh well if it is then at least it supports Core Image.

 

[Spanky Deluxe]

er . . . I just bought a 160GB 2.5

Wow! I didn't realise they went that big! Sweet. I reckon the biggest BTO HDD from Apple will be 120GB though.

 

[briangig]

Only 80gb??? What's with that?

as it's only 2.5" HD, anything larger would probably put the price point way too high...besided, keep the media on the desktop.

 

[Brainy]

They're going on to music...I hope there's still more hardware to come. If it's just the mini and movies I'm going to be pretty sad.

Woah...integrated graphics? I missed that. Ick!

 

[billchase2]

i just closed ilounge and just have macrumors running. they're doing an EXCELLENT job keeping up with everything from all the various sites.

 

[jacobj]

4.8x - 5.5x faster for the duo.

Erm... OK... I'll believe that.. why are they still claiming this when benchmarks for the iMac and MBP show that in real life it is not such a big increase. They've started a precident I suppose.

 

[Elrond39]

"it took McDonald's 8 years to sell a billion burgers"
HAHAHAHA cracks me up. Nice one Steve!

Welcome... this site is nothing short of incredible...never go anywhere else!!

 

[Sam*]

i dont care about $99 cases

 

[Enterprise8875]

Oh nice leather iPod cases!

 

[briangig]

Well, we got our "headless iMac" with the Mac Mini. Now let's start clamoring for a "gutless Mini", which ONLY streams stuff to your TV and nothing else. That's what I'm talking about.

thats why i wanted an airport express w/ video, but I doubt we'll see that now. but who knows?

 

[Spanky Deluxe]

I've got a strong feeling that the One More Thing will be the iPod Full Screen video device. They're going on about movies, tv streaming to minis connected to televisions, movies movies movies... I think its leading to something.

 

[jrk07]

Leather iPod cases and Mac Minis....shows over....j/k

 

[jenkij]

So this is probably a really stupid question but what the Hell does the "i" stand for in...

ipod
iweb
imac
ibook
itunes
iphoto
imovie
etc.

?????????
does anyone even know?

Probably Intel, they were just thinking way ahead

 

[aswitcher]

So MacMini only really lacks a decent size HDD and maybe graphics cards...

 

[moesker007]

, why would someone want a 99$ leather case? I mean it's not a gucci or Louis Vuitton (those are upwards of 200$ actually) but still 99$?

 

[MacSA]

We're only half way through the presentation.

 

[age234]

$99? Whoa.

 

[Enterprise8875]

iPod Stereo!!!!!

 

[Brainy]

Cases with no screen or control access? Why would anybody want that...and for $100?
