The Mac Mini 1.83 (CoreDuo) with 160GB HDD and Superdrive is £723.

The iMac 1.83 (Core2Duo) with 160GB HDD and Combo Drive is £679!!

Hmmmmmm, makes for interesting purchasing decisions! :confused:

In light of the new iMac specs and lower prices, the Mac Mini looks a VERY BAD BUY!!

hmm maybe they got the prices wrong lol
 
As much as I'm salivating over this 24", I relize that 20" is so much larger than my current 14" iBook that I think I'll go for it. 2.33MHz 20" iMac here I come!

I think the cheaper model Mac Mini is a sweet price point, but the higher spec model isn't looking too great alongside the iMac revisions.

Hopefully Apple will take note and reduce the Mini prices soon. They did that not long after the first Intel versions came out.

*sees a lot of Pro customers considering 24" iMac*

Guess they kept the VRAM down to 128 as not to compete with Mac Pro.

You can up it to 256MB in the buying options. The 24inch also goes up to 3GB RAM :)

Have to agree with you there. Still planning on buying the MacPro at the end of the month, but the 24" iMac has turned my head slightly.... just for a second at least! :)

They've taken away the option of a Superdrive BTO, which means youd have to go for the £529 model if you want one.

With all the cool stuff you get with the 24 inch iMac they should call it the iMac Pro :)

They kind of do. In today's press release, I think it's the first time that Apple admitted that an iMac could be a viable pro machine.

I'm really glad I cam't afford this right now, vause it would likely be my first Intel mac otherwise.

I just so can't find the space to put it. The new 17" is looking mighty tempting though.

**slaps self**

BTW, the 24inch tech specs says it's wall mountable too :)

Well our new digs has a nice granite work station right in the living room and it would fit, but I'm broke and I promised myself no more credit cards. :(
