Mac Mini gets a sneaky update: spec bump, unibody enclosure, HDMI

Romanian price for the Mini is $1053

Nice job Apple, I was planning on buying one. Not anymore!

now its one of Oprahs favorite things??? http://www.mysmartrend.com/news-briefs/news-watch/oprah-gives-apple-inc-ipads-more-o-magazine-staffers-aapl .... winfrey / jobs in '12.

Isn't this the first Mac Mini which supports two displays? Having the ability to use an additional monitor, and replacing the internal HD with an SSD will make this an attractive alternative to the all-in-one iMacs.

Nice. The mac mini is properly mini and portable now. The huge power brick is no more.

I was thinking about the new mac mini and the thought came to me. Is the new mac mini a desktop or a notebook without a screen and a keyboard. This doesn't appeal to people who use their notebooks on the go but it does to people like me who use their notebooks or dektops at home and the office, for example.

compared with a notebook, the new mac mini is smaller, lighter, doesn't heat as much, supports a screen with more definiton and if you use your notebook with a large screen it will cost you less. there are many other pluses compared with a notebook. what's missing is the screen and the keyboard.

so, my question is: can we treat the mac mini as a notebook?

Apart from price being too high, HD size is way too low and the server model also sports 2 separate HDs (more electricity consumption) instead of slamming one 1.5TB and get it over with.

Apple isn't interested in selling things for the lowest prices. If you want bargains look elsewhere. Some people are willing to pay more for Apple products and some aren't.

The price for this is insane. I am sorry Apple, but this is way to much.

Of course it's up another $100. What the heck, Apple? It was supposed to be your entry-level cheap machine for people who want a Mac but can't afford an iMac. Now it's $200 more than when it came out for the base level. I need one for my media center and waited forever for this update now can't get it still because of this price increase again.

Disappointed.

Why is the SD card slot in the back of the machine? Because it is too hard to cut another slot in the aluminum front? Too expensive? At 7" square, it makes nearly a perfect pedestal for the 24" display, so putting the SD card slot on the back seems curious. Just laser out a nice little window beneath the DVD slot for the SD card and a USB port.
