Updated Mac Mini Aims For the Living Room 638
WrongSizeGlass noted that besides the pre-order of the new iPhone appearing on the Apple store today, Apple has revved the Mac Mini and started selling those too. "PC World is reporting on the latest version of Apple's Mac Mini. At only 1.4-inches tall the unibody aluminium enclosure includes an HDMI port, an SD card reader, and more graphics and processing power. Even the power supply is inside now. The base model comes with 2.4-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard disk — for $699. Graphics power comes from an NVIDIA GeForce 320M GPU (as found in lower-end MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops). Apple appears to be aiming for living rooms by including the HDMI port and eliminating the external power brick."

Tell me, if Steve told you to jump off a bridge, would you ask which one?
Well, Steve wouldn't just tell you to jump. He would offer three height options (iBridge 50, iBridge 100, iBridge Pro250) and then sell you the privilege of jumping off one of them.

You guys are comparing apples to condoms, figuratively. Show us that magical unicorn delivered Compaq for $300 that's in a tiny form factor. Small doesn't come cheap.

Please explain then how the Mac Mini is in any way trapped in a walled garden then. So far, both ACs have only demonstrated one or more of the following:
1) You don't know what a walled garden is.
2) You don't know anything about OSX machines.
3) You're just trolling and 1 and 2 are irrelevant.
Maybe when you're all growed up, you'll get your very own Slashdot account and get over name-calling. Now go get ready for bed little one, and don't forget to brush your teeth.
