Quite true, and the new chips are not yet available for the mac pro, either. But the mini... the mini is a disgrace as it is now. It was literally outdated the day it was released (the imacs were updated to santa rosa that day, and the mini stayed on the napa chipset), and that was about 14 months ago. And here we are today, same 2GB RAM limit, same ridiculous graphics (GMA 950 was underpowered when it was chosen for the first macbook in may 2006!!), same price.
Those of you who know my posts know that I'm not one to jump on the apple-bashing bandwagon that seems so popular on this site these days. I'm pretty much happy after every update. But this is really too much. They're seriously going to let the mini sit as-is for another 2 months, at least? All they need to do is slap macbook innards in to the current case and it would be a wonderful machine. As it is, it's so far overpriced and so far underpowered that I can't possibly recommend it to anyone. What a joke.
