[costabunny]

big fan of the user upgradeable memory!

 

[queshy]

Pretty unexpected! Love the new design, and HDMI is very nice. This makes the Apple TV less of a good buy at this point...

 

[designgeek]

OMG

 

[striatedglutes]

Hot!

 

[butterfly0fdoom]

OMG WANT. I have no need for one, but WANT.

Same here.

Looks like a really nice update

 

[Icaras]

Same here...

The new design is cool, but 2GB RAM is pointless really..

Yea, but this bad boy can go up to 8 GB now and is user-expandeable without voiding warranty. These alone offset the initial RAM limitation for me. 🙂

 

[Santabean2000]

Loving it. Sleek, powerful (enough) and finally got the right balance of ports.

HTPC perfect-o😀

I sort of crapped a brick when i saw the new mac mini.So.Yeah.I want one.

It's also $100 more. Why is their cheapest Mac getting a price hike?

Note the loss of a USB port from the last model. Otherwise this looks like a winner.

£150 price increase in the UK, now more than double the price it was when first introduced at £339.

Looks great (especially the HDMI) .. but it sure is expensive for such a low power device.
(pluging it as a gamer computer is beyond ridiculous by the way).

Apple have lost my attention until they include blu ray drives in their machines.

 

[OllyW]

From £649! 😱

That's bloody expensive.

 

[Nebrie]

Power Supply BUILT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!

 

[ventro]

One of the best industrial designs out of Apple in years.

 

[zacheryjensen]

I will likely replace my aging Apple TV with this, if only front row wasn't such a turd compared to the apple tv menu...

But a full computer and everyone in the home owning an iPhone means there's little reason not to use this for all the streaming media, even if it's not quite the "10 foot" interface ideal.

New Mac mini, user accessible RAM upgrade.. What about HDD??

Ok the new mac mini looks awesome, thinner and sleeker! Especially the Nvidia 320m gives it a HUGE boost in performance, (I should know I just got the 13" mbp with the exact same specs!).

Anyways, I can see that Apple has made the RAM user upgradable but what about the HDD? Do you have to unscrew all of that to get underneath it all to get to the HDD??

From £649! 😱

That's bloody expensive.

Total rip off in the UK. 🙁

 

[SchneiderMan]

Just ordered one!

 

[ViperDesign]

Apple have lost my attention until they include blu ray drives in their machines.

It does seem they are anti blu-Ray on all of their systems. Wonder why

 

[CJS7070]

Hmmm... I think I like it.

 

[TuffLuffJimmy]

That's a beautiful case.

 

[xUKHCx]

It does look stunning in my opionion and the updates look good. I wasn't expecting to see a Mini update so it is a nice surprise.

I would've like the SD card slot on the front too.

The price for what it is looks high and the configure page on the UK store doesn't appear to be working.

 

[alphaod]

That looks really nice.

I like it. Included HDMI is nice as well for HTPC use. Love the lack of the bulky power brick.
