So Apple may have 2 reasons for including 2 different kinds of ports, after all they could have just stuck with Mini Displayport.

If you run to your HDTV with the mini-display port you have the DVI left over to attach to a monitor for a computer in the living room. Don't know why that occured to me but it seems very family friendly. And the fifth usb port? Look at the fancy new displayport connectors....it's gonna take up one of those ports and now you're left over with your standard Mac Mini 4.
