I'm not saying right now.. but price is eventually going to kill them. Competitors are coming out with nicer and nicer products for far less. No justification for these price hikes... money hungry.


You should base your statement on something real, like economics for example.

Getting so much closer to Star Trek business model... those stores, it's like bright DS9 happy new world where one corporation provides all our creative with A-Chip powered Silicon-Soma needs. Tis the model for the future and Apple are on board, Apple Social Computer company. . :)

That Mac Mini looks like an opening act for the new Mac Pro - I almost thought from the picture they were hinting at the modular approach I posted about some years ago here.

Spoken like someone who puts doesn't understand the model and forgets software is proprietary.

The iPhone, MacBook, iPad, etc are software at the end of the day.
 
I don’t get the rMBa & rMB positioning at all. And Apple still has no sub $1000 option. :confused:
They've given up on the sub $1000 laptop market. The days of a clean, limited, linear product lineup is gone as well. Like other manufacturer's they'll have multiple products overlapping price points and segments. We can buy lots of 12/13" laptops from Dell, Lenovo etc. It's the same for Apple now.
 
Just tell us the price and release date Tim. We already know everything about the new iPads.
 
So i am guessing the old mini will still be in the App Store.. Dual Core and at least the ones up to 799... between 500 to 800, They can't drop all cheap Macs.
 
Really want/need a new Mac Mini. Thankfully, they didn’t drop the ball on the new model. My 2011 Mini is currently sitting in its box.
