It's pretty fucking crazy how small that computer is, I mean just look at that fucking box. I'm tempted to go to an Apple store as soon as they're in stock and pick one up just because it's so small.Comment

Jobs introduces Mac mini. New member of Mac family including a slot-load Combo optical drive, FireWire, ethernet, USB 2.o, both DVI/VGA output. It plays DVDs, burn CDs, and is very quiet and tiny. Its height is half the size of an iPod mini. Jobs calls it "BYODKM" -- Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, Mouse. Will come in two models: 1.25GHz 256MB/40GB for $499. A second model with a 1.4GHz, more memory and larger hard drive will sell for $599. Mac mini will ship on January 22. Ships in a box smaller than the regular iPod box.Comment

1.25GHz 256MB/40GB, Firewire, VGA/DVI, DVD/CD-RW, USB 2, Firewire and Ethernet of course. There's a $599 model also with a 1.4 GHz and 512mb 60gb I believe.Comment

Yeah it's taken them a good 5 or 6 years now that Jobs is back but they're really making some big big moves now. And he's about to intro a cheaper iPod too. And with the iTunes cell phones coming out who knows!Originally posted by Manowarapple are really ontop of their game at the momentComment

I wonder if it has bluetooth, it would be sweet if you could have a wireless keyboard and mouse with no extra hardware needed.Comment

This is live info from the Keynot speec that's still going on right this minute. Apple will update their site and stores with all the new info in probably the next 20 to 30 minutes and then it will have an official page on their site.Originally posted by tranzaAny link to that offer?
As far as Bluetooth you only need the little $40 USB module and then you've got it.Comment

Yeah I think it's going to sell huge, I bet it's the biggest sell personal computer of 2005 by far. You can also grab the little DVI to Composite and S-Video adapter for just $19 and use it as a media center. It has iLife 05 which has the new iPhoto that now handles mpegs too.Comment

I'd say the imac pretty much counts as a "smaller mac". This is the first cheap mac made.Originally posted by infectoIts ok but too bad its a mac number one and that you can get PCs thats small and even smaller with same/similar specs. Its nothing special just the first smaller mac made./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

You guys keep saying it, can you point me to a pc this size with equal specs, software and everything else for the same price that you haven't built yourself?Comment

Sweet!
THAT would be one helluva prize for a few promos....*smoke emitting from my ears as the gears in my head turn*Comment

Look at the prices of shuttle boxes they are very close to this new mac.Originally posted by DigipimpYou guys keep saying it, can you point me to a pc this size with equal specs, software and everything else for the same price that you haven't built yourself?Comment

You're forgetting one thing: macs are better. Plain and simple. They just work. Even if they're overpriced, it's still worth it.Originally posted by infectoYeah the sad part is macs could be priced equally to a PC but apple overprices everything they sell./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

hmmm if you buy a complete shuttle box their cheapest model is $599 without firewire, extra software, a modem and they give you an S3 video cardOriginally posted by infectoLook at the prices of shuttle boxes they are very close to this new mac.
and no combo drive just a plain cd drive and no dvi for $100 more what a deal!
like i said show me a cheaper or equally priced box of this size that has everything this one has at the same price that you don't have to build yourself.
oh yeah the shuttle box is twice the size of this one tooLast edited by Digipimp; 01-11-2005, 12:03 PM.Comment
