Mac Mini Idea

[TrapOx]

2. Apple TV is downgraded to an Atom processor

Fixed it for you.

- Intel GMA X3100 graphics

Why would Apple waste money updating 2 generation old hardware with old and very slow graphics?

Now I can say: YesMac this is Awesome. I really do hope this is the one. And I also like this mockup better than the ipod docking, color-chromatic, one you did earlier (though that was an interesting idea too

Ok, I'll make all my own price points.
They will look very familiar. lol.
Well... three price points won't really make it a Mini anymore.
Anyways...

NOTES: Combo drive, DEAD.

$499 - Same body as the current Mac Mini
- 2.1GHz processor
- 120GB HDD (upgradable to 160GB)
- 2GB Ram (upgradable to 4GB)
- Intel GMA X3100 graphics
- Shipped with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

$699 - Aluminum Mac Mini (like in your idea)
- 2.0GHz
- 160GB HDD (upgradable to 250GB)
- 2GB Ram (upgradable to 4GB)
- NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
- Shipped with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

OR instead of the $799 suggestion I stated above

$899 - Aluminum Mac Mini (like in your idea)
- 2.4Ghz
- 250GB HDD (upgradable to 320GB)
- 2GB Ram (upgradable to 4GB)
- NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
- Shipped with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

OR Maybe all three of those but the third one at $999.99.

$900 with on board video is pushing it too far

$700 should have 7200 HD + 9300 / 9400 / 9500 with 128-256 vram dual display + firewire 800

$900 or $1000 7200 HD + 4gb system ram and a 9600 or 9800 dual display with 256-512 vram + firewire 800 / 1600 / 3200.
