I just did some number crunching, and with the 64MB to video and the 80MB OSX takes, over 28% of your ram is used the minute you turn it on.

How they could go from having a card with dedicated memory to this integrated pile of junk is beyond me. They gave the iMacs and Macbook Pro's X1600's if I remember correctly and the mini gets intel integrated.

I think Im gonna cry right now.]]>Feb 28th 2006 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/
Dear Apple... you come so close, yet you're still so far away. It's no wonder that the PC world continues to pass you by.

Is this not a downgrade from the mini mac ver. 1?
No component video out (just composite and s-video), no PVR capability.

How the hell is that supposed to work? Is there some new way of sending light through a piece of copper?

My guess is that this is like the Creative Labs "SPDIF" which uses 3.5mm audio cables and only allows you to connect it to Creative brand speakers.

This is BAD. You will definately not be able to use it with a standard stereo and optical cables.

I think you will see that there is a thing called an optical mini connector that happens to be the same size as a 3.5 mm standard analog mini connector. Thus the one size fits all.

The port has the copper wiring for 3.5mm jacks and also an optical part at the tip. Mini Disc players have used them for years. Its just like an SPDIF jack in the shape of a 3.5mm headphone jack.]]>Feb 28th 2006 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/Feb 28th 2006 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/

Actually, if you can even find a 360.

The mini was announced today, and they're already available to buy. The 360 has been out since before xmas and you still can't find any.]]>Feb 28th 2006 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/28/apples-intel-mac-minis-core-duo-at-1-67ghz-core-solo-at-1-5/
