Mac-Pro Mini Preview

[ocbo41]

Ok so it's not a preview as much as a mockup, but this is how I think apple should design a Mac-Mini Tower...not that I would buy one, but all the talk of it made me want to do a quick mockup in photoshop. Didn't put too much time into it so it's a little rough

I think a single Core Duo Mac-Pro tower would be great...start it out cheap and slower, then customize it to your liking. I think I would take off the "pro" part however because any mini-tower they make will not be the latest and greatest (then it would just be a Mac-Pro lol)

I think the problem with this (EVERY TIME SOMEONE ELSE SUGGESTS IT) is that they suggests that Apple release a Mac Pro mid range tower.

KEY WORD PEOPLE!>>>>>> PRO

It would not be a midrange Mac Pro. It would be a mid range mac tower

I can't see why Apple would ever bother into getting into this market *unless* there was a Pro demand for it.

If there is enough of a demand for a dual-HD, quad-core, small footprint machine, then there's a chance. It sure looks to me like a lot of musicians, photographers and even graphic designers would be happy with such a unit.

But there's no point holding our breath. Apple clearly don't want to cannibalise either Mac Pro sales *or* iMac sales. Moreover, it's pretty obvious that Jobs sees having too many product lines as a major weakness of the pre-1997 Apple decline.

I'd go for a smaller sized unit myself.
