well...
lol...thanks JasonK....i really enjoyed your alternative plan. rather than "paying" somebody to insert the memory and "hook" it up for me.
would you be my Godfather on this....
im still twisting in the air tho... hoping that there will be a refresh....this Tuesday...or the next
Firewire 400 is ridiculously oudated (14 years old!) and NEEDS to die. Maybe manufacturers will finally step up to 800, but seeing as they havent in the 7 years its been available....
That would be the day.... It would have to be first on my list to buy.
lol, it would be on my list ... if I could afford it.
Plus - I'd think something that big would require an event, don't you?

I'm thinking so, 30 inch maybe?

It's surprising 2 c everyone getting so excited over wat is basically just speed & size bumps. I told myself it'd b ok if that was the extent of the updates but I think I'm a little disappointed inside. I was expecting Apple to wow me w/ something sweet & radical
Apple doesn't work that way.
It had better learn to. Things have changed just a little bit in the last two years. Somebody from Infinite Loop needs to go shopping and see what $400 buys these days.
If the specs that have been mentioned are correct, the Mini needs to start at $399 and the iMac at $899. There needs to be a Mac Pro at $1,899 and an expandable xMac at $599.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I guess I'm a heathen - I also like the look of the whitebooks over the unibodies
Nah You're cool...
It's just that I feel the little girl deserves a new life and should be as special as the new lineup. I really love my MacMini but it's not going to want to play nice with my future MacOS X 10.6 Or at least it hasn't thus far. :/
And I think it's one of those amazing little machines from Apple that I just really love. Since I missed out on the Cube, this is MY cube and I love it to bits.
I just want Apple to show it some respect.
Yeah, if Apple came out with an TV, it would probably be $1600 for just a 32-in model.
I really wish they would update the mac mini to some decent specifications. I don't want to sound silly but not everyone in this tough time has money to burn, some of us don't have a lot of money right now.
I am a student and have used a G4 mac mini for many years. Now that it is coming to end of its life (the optical drive has failed and often the fans rev up and go into protective shutdown by itself) I am looking for a decent update.
I hope Apple's UK prices for the Mac Mini will be honest.
peace - macpanda.

We covered this already. Keep up!
Because its a BYODKM. You have to add your own keyboard, mouse, printer, iPod/iPhone, etc.
Because its a BYODKM. Apple won't be able to assume you have an ACD with mini-display port. Think "switchers". Here's hoping the video card is a 9400 and can drive both ports simultaneously.
FireWire 800 is completely backward compatible to FireWire 400. Get one of the FireWire cables with the nine-pin connector on one end and the six-pin connector on the other.
Actually, yes, yes it does.
That would be the day.... It would have to be first on my list to buy.
Has the dude even considered opening it and feeding whatever is in side of that box? It could be dead by now.
Exactly why apple pulled out of Macworld, they are expected to revolutionize the world with every update. Completely unrealistic.
And after the update im sure the sales numbers will be dismal right?
Apple continues to flourish, as much as every spec jockey says they will fail for not giving average joe complete overkill for his needs.
Yeah, Apple continues to flourish. Mini sales flourish? I'll believe that when I see evidence of it.
And call me crazy, but I'm going to go ahead and speculate that if it was better specs at the same price or same specs at a lower price (or both) that sales would be better. I know, totally outlandish, right?
The mini has four NOW. And a mini with a generic keyboard/mouse will leave three open on the new mini, while an iMac with three open because of the two ports on the included keyboard - technically with the two USB on they keyboard, the iMac has 5 ports total and 3 open with keyboard and mouse attached.
Argh, not the bloody xMac, the xMac needs to be inbetween the iMac and Mac Pro, otherwise, what's the point in getting the iMac...
Maybe the reason why there isn't a speed bump in the high end is because Apple is no longer getting "special" CPUs from Intel ever since they used NVIDIA chipsets? The current top mobile CPU speed is 3.07 GHz.
There's still hope for the GPU. GTX 200M series (to be released March 3 or something) maybe, especially when the Apple-NVIDIA relationship seems to be good.
No quad-core, not even a speed bump in the high end. What were they thinking?
I agree, pretty disappointing, especially on the iMac side. If these specs are accurate, no wonder there will not be an event.
