Apple quietly updates the Mac Mini

I bought my 1.5 Core Solo mini refreshed from the apple store in King of Prussia less then30 days ago, and refreshed items come with a free 30 day return policy. Guess what computer is going back to the store?

"Anyone notice the picture on the far right for the MacMini with all the cover art for actual movies. I don't remember seeing that before for front row."

That is the page in front row for browsing movie trailers i think.

Hah! If I didn't have this 15 day old mini on my desk we'd still have the Core Solo model! :-P

I just looked at the page is it me or is pricing way out of WACK here. No DVD-+RW on low?

$679.00 low
and
$899.00 high

I miss the
$499 low
and
$599 high

Eh how typical is this. I purchased mine 9 months ago! j.k... any suggestions where i can purchase one of these processors so I make the upgrade myself?

Seems that the low-end model can't be upgraded to include a SuperDrive. How odd.

Grr... I just bought a 1.66 Mac Mini a couple weeks ago! Well, at least it's not a major update!

That 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo processor model is very attractive but I wish it was about $100 cheaper. As the current owner of a Dual 2.0 Ghz G5 and a 23 inch cinema display, I could easily validate the purchase of a $500 dollar machine to bring me into the Intel era. I don't do much gaming (by that I mean none-at-all) on my Mac so the integrated graphics do not bother me. It's just something about that $599 price point.

Considering the price drops for the Core Duo chips, Apple must have a fat profit margin on these models.

At the $499 price point, they would have added so many more users. Most desktop users aren't willing to, nor need to spend more than $500.
