flibblesan Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Oooh. I wonder how long this will take to be announced. I'm looking at building a new hack with modest specs, so a new Mac Mini would be pretty sweet instead if the price is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 The 9400M is pretty good. It's openGL scores are as good as my 7600GT, on a 2.4ghz Pentium Dual core. This in a Mac Mini is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ajob Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 This looks like it might make a nice future hack-mini if its cheap enough not sure about performance though ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konami® Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 This looks like it might make a nice future hack-mini if its cheap enough not sure about performance though ... Looks cool but if the Mac-mini will be packed with features, I prefer the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaksauce12 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 /me desperately waiting for he new Mac Mini Ditto. If these really debut at $499, they will be the new Media Center standard for Plex...my Media Center Hackintosh recipe is $500, so this would be a great (tiny) alternative!

martiniman Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Nice stretching of a MacBook If they really shrink the Mini any further, the DVD-drive will be skipped. The slot in my Mini is almost never used, only for system installs, which could be fixed with Leopard on a USB drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detosx Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I always assumed that sales of the Mac Mini would be big, as in iPod-big but Apple didn't market it very well. Also, while this community has been a great source of free advertising for the otherwise relatively obscure and mysterious OS X platform... and great for Apple at getting many of us hobbiests experimenters to move onto looking into buying gorgeous looking Macs when they have the budget to do so, the same can't be said for the Mac Mini because few hobbiests here have been trying to emulate the Mini, in terms of small form factor. The price point, as with a lot of Macs, was nutters and yet it was and is a fairly unique product. I hope Apple market this one with gusto and get the price point right, just for once, instead of apparently being obsessed with trying to avoid hitting the mainstream! I love my Mini more than any other piece of hardware that I own. People still ask me if it is very posh cookie tin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detosx Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Does the case need changing? I think the existing model is a design classic of minimalism and function and I hope the back plate retains the same level of connectivity. If Firewire is left out, which seems to be a trend, I will just have to stick with the old Mini that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
