The 2009 (Penryn) Mac Mini: Everything We Know

wow he actually admitted he was wrong about something.

No credit to the guy that posted the pic and video? Im not sure if they were identical, but iirc one topic of debate was the 5 USB in which he represented in his "mock up".

just because it didn't meat 'your' expectations.

is that some sort of play on words? sounds like a porno

The dual mini ports, as I said in the first post, goes against the Mac Mini's philosophy, BYODKM, in that you would be forced to buy an adapter for whatever display you plug into it.

Well it comes with a miniDVI-to-DVI adapter, so any DVI display is ok.
VGA displays will require an adapter. Presumably only a miniDVI-to-VGA
or miniDP-to-VGA adapter will do, because in the past it hasn't been
possible to put a DVI-to-VGA adapter on the end of a miniDVI-to-DVI
or miniDP-to-DVI adapter. Some on this at http://tinyurl.com/mini09

It being updated without a redesign to match the rest of Apple's offerings is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE thing to see.

It not being redesigned would show that Apple is feeling the recession and just not showing it on the surface. They've had nearly two years to come up with a new design to match the aluminum iMac (its design debuted the day of the last Mac Mini update), and if something is released that looks the same, that means that they've abandoned the new design that they DO have for monetary reasons.

There's zero evidence for this. If I were in charge (and obviously I'm not)
then I would have kept the current design. I like it. Maybe Apple does too.
