From: Paul B. Mattewson on 16 Jun 2010 15:22 Apple just introduced a new Mac Mini and it's quite a breakthrought! For hardly 20$ more than the PC I bought a year ago, it has: Half the HD capacity Half the memory One less core, both cores at .4 GHz less The day I'll scrap my PC because of old age, I'm sure Apple will offer a Mastic Knife Mini with about the same specs at the same price. Way to go, Apple! You're getting there! I'm surprized Jobs didn't crank the price to $800.

But it has an OS and doesn't need to waste CPU cycles running virus checking. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG
From: JF Mezei on 16 Jun 2010 16:17 Serious question: is the Mac Mini restricted to "laptop" hardware due to space and heat considerations ?

My OS doesn't waste CPU cycles running virus checking. |
