Call me underwhelmed, but still appreciative that Apple is finally realizing that 256MB of RAM is pretty useless.

512MB RAM is now the minimum in both the iBooks and Mac mini families. Yay!

The Mac mini now comes in 3 models, with a top price of $699 for a 1.42GHz model with a SuperDrive. Bluetooth and Airport Extreme are now built-in on the $599 (1.42GHz Combo Drive) and $699 models, but are build-to-order on the $499 1.25GHz model.

The iBook G4 lineup was bumped up to 1.42 GHz on the 14-inch model, which has a SuperDrive, while the lower end comes in at 1.33GHz with a Combo Drive. Both iBooks now sport an ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 and built-in Bluetooth and Airport Express right out of the box. The iBooks also now include the scrolling trackpad and Sudden Motion Sensor.

That's it??? I'm going back to bed.
