The Mac Mini
$499 computer from Apple
Wednesday, January 12, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: Macintosh
Apple has announced a $499 computer - the Mac Mini. This computer could really put the Mac on the map in a much more mainstream way. Designed as the ultimate computer PC, the Mini is designed to literally just plug in and go.
Will this change the facts on the ground in the PC vs. Mac demographic?

Take a look at this
I think this helps me understand if its really the same and it isn't. Someone trying to buy their first computer is not going to get the Mac Mini. You can get a computer ready to go for the same price with simular layout.
I still think it will be for those who want to try it out, those who have a computer (iether Mac or PC) already, those who have iPods, and those who can set it up for all computers to be on some kind of network (of which I do not know is possible or not).
It will sell I think, and if they market it right, it will be a hit as the new media center for the family.

To both Joes:
Networking Macs to PCs has been possible for a very, very long time.

add a few more media centre options and ill buy this one in a jiffy
it looks *much* nicer than the mini itx / etc cases available atm
and at quite a good price too - dvi plugs straight into the hdtv, it needs some better sound equipment (how good are those usb 5.1/6.1 sourround sound cards? - any for mac?)
also wondering about sound/heat output
