There is no reason whatsover not to have a 23" monitor with a mini. Whatever works for you. I am happy with mine.

I want 40 inch and 30 inch ACD TOUCH screens... !!!
That will blow the industry away. Go all multi touch down the entire mac product line.

The Mini works great with the ACD 23". That's how they demo the 23" at The Apple Store here on Regent Street.

Seems incongruous running such an amazing monitor on the most budget-friendly Mac. Nothing stopping you from doing it, just not what I'd imagine is the norm.
Like I said, nothing stopping you. I just can't see myself buying a monitor that costs twice as much as the computer I run it on , heh.
Oh! I apologise! At £599 it's 1.5 times the price of a £399 Mini, not 2 times. I shouldn't have estimated like that and got the pedant in you all upset.
You get a discount? Eat your cookie. The £1098 anyone else likely has to spend on an "upgraded" Mini (I take it you mean the 2GHz with SD) and 23" ACD puts it in the 24" iMac ballpark, the specs of which blow the Mini out the water. Oh, and keyboard and MM thrown in!
The only advantages I can see that the MM + ACD combo offers is how you can continue using the ACD on something better once you outgrow the Mini, and the screen isn't glossy. Otherwise, the iMac offers much more - 2.4 c2e, iSight, fw800, twice the standard RAM, 200GB bigger HD, etc etc... and all from one power supply
*shrug* I'm inclined to ask why you went for the Mini in light of all this, but I'm not too bothered... Not my money!
I wish apple would release consumer displays: like in the 19"-22" range and budget wise: $199-$299
I can dream can't I?

The question wasn't why buy a mini it was why not have a 23" ACD with a mini. I bought a mini because I cannot deal with the with the glossy displays of the iMacs. Suit yourself if you like your iMac but don't change the subject. Whatever monitor works for someone doesn't have anything to do with their computer choice.
*sigh* I don't even HAVE an iMac. It seems like the better choice for a comparable amount, however. The Core Duo I used to own was a great machine, with a gerat (matte) display. Even now I'd probably grab a white Core 2 over the new black/Alu thing.
An ACD seems "too much monitor" for a Mini. You think people using such a quality monitor will be running a more amazing machine, this is not niche or crazy thinking. Notice Apple's site focuses on the Mac Pro and MBP in conjunction with the ACD, which is what I'd expect (the Mini page doesn't even make mention of compatibility with the 23", just the 20"!)
But as I said, not my money, and nothing stopping you!
*sigh* Your logic is flawed but most people configuring their mini would see that. Go configure a mini on Apple's site and you will see it has the 20" and 23" ACD as an option. Why, because people choose monitors based on quality, size and cost. So to justify a 23" ACD a person needs to spend $2500 on a Mac Pro. haha
Multi-Touch Display to Mac Pro in 2008
Yeas.
I just got that message in Denmark.
The only problems should be changing display size from iPod Touch and iPhone Touch to monitors with for example 24''
Will it be the sensation on the january year 2008 meeting in California ?
Why not ?
Is it really true ?
Next year perhaps a MacBook Pro with two displays and the one of them in stead of the traditional keyboard and mouse funtions ?

Eek. It's better than the dA forums here - I only just discovered there's an ignore list. I'll just use that
Dell introduced a designer display at CES:

Now I'm thinking maybe that hooked up to a new mini if there is one launched on the 15th.
And I want Apple to evaluate and maybe incorporate THIS TECHNOLOGY
Now that would be really mind-blasting. And I'd rather have that, than touch-screen!
A 40-inch MultiTouch display would not only blow away the industry my friend, but our wallets as well.
For what?
Besides it is currently limited to the awesome resolution of 1024 x 768 ... I doubt any Mac users even use that resolution anymore.
