Still waiting for that mac mini release, now it has been a while, making me start to google how to build a hackintosh with a legal copy of os system

Rumor is that the mac mini is supposed to be release any week now, lets see if this holds up

Ray… what you said makes perfect sense and most people would love to have that, I know I would…. which is why apple would never make it

whats the use of a desktop mac _smaller_ than the current mac?
make the macmini the size of cube (i.e. twice its current hight) and make it more expandable, for adding
- a graphics card that would allow to hook up two monitors
- bigger hard disk
- more ram
- and ideally with more connectors for usb and fw

imho that would be a perfect machine (small desktop mac).

I don’t get this article. Why would Apple ever want to make a “tower” tinier than the Mac mini? Why not just make the Mac Mini tinier(certaintly not BIGGER) and rename it? Ever thought of that Apple?

Well the new macbooks came out all pimped out, but still nothing on this tower, or the mini. I still don’t see why they can’t just do it at the same time

Steve will NEVER let that become a midrange tower.

If people can upgrade processor, video car, etc. Then they would not need to buy a new machine for longer and longer.

Although, I certainly would buy one.

I hear you Money and I agree with you 100% All apple has to do is offer the 2.4ghz i mac without the screen and sell it as a desktop for $1200-$1400 with the ability to upgrade it, and that would be perfect

Lets see what this event is that apple is planning at the end of the month, so much speculation

I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t have a mini-tower. I have $1500 to spend. I already have a 24-inch monitor. My choice is either a $599 Mac Mini, or a $2799 Mac Pro. They are leaving money on the table. Why???

I agree with people that there’s no point in this. Isn’t the whole point of iMac is to have the most simplest (and thin) desktop for average household?

I want an imac 2.4ghz with no screen, that is all, is that to hard to ask for?

There is absolutely no market for such a machine. What would the point be? The only real advantage of the Air is its portability — other than that it’s just overpriced and under-featured. So to build the same machine, but in a desktop..? Why?
