The $US1000 Mac mini server includes two 500GB hard disks, 4GB of RAM, and GeForce 9400M graphics.
For it’s part, the 320GB Mac mini stays at $US800, but has that new processor, and 4GB of memory (up from 2GB).
It’s the $US600 entry-level Mac mini that gets the most love. It’s got a faster 2.26GHz processor (up from 2GHz), has 2GB RAM (up from 1GB), and has 160GB of storage (up from 120GB).
As far as the rumours go: Yep, there is a Mini DisplayPort output. No, there’s no Blu-ray. No cheaper option, either. Do you think this is enough to save for the Mac mini from near-irrelevance?

Dame it! Hurry up already and give me a mini mac capable of HD play back (don’t care if it’s off blu-ray or harddisk)…these things make a great little media center, form factor, low noise, love ‘em, just give me more grunt!!

I agree with Shane. Also HDMI output with visuals and audio would be nice. Why should we have to pony up for an adapter.
Also pricing that was closer to the AUD to USD exchange rate would be nice.

Pinball – you do realise that US prices don’t include sales or state taxes up front?

Yeah I understand that US prices do not include sales taxes that apply in different US states, but what does that have to do with anything?
I’m talking about buying in Australia, we don’t pay US sales taxes, we pay GST. So with the current exchange rate plus 10% for GST I figure the Mac Minis are still about $200 more expensive then they should be.
