MacSlash, among other sites, look at how the Mac mini is poised to go the way of the Apple Desktop Bus really soon. The Mac mini was doomed once it went above $499.
You know… the iMac is due for an update, and the Mac mini is cursed more than ever by using laptop parts - you get a seriously small and slow hard drive for that kind of buck. My guess has two parts:
- A new iMac, moving up the scale further.
- An ‘xMac’ - the mythical reasonably expansive headless Mac. The missing link between the Cube and Mac mini for less than $1000.
Alternatively, the iMac may move down the scale and play both roles. It’s all good.
