Mac Mini--why I think it won't take off

Name: Anonymous 2005-01-11 21:47

Thinking about it, I don't think (at the current pricing) the Mac Mini will be that successful, in Australia at least... If it were at the AU$650 price as was rumoured, yes, it'd grab the market of home users upgrading from a sub-1GHz Wintel machine who don't have any real tie to the platform (not avid gamers, unable to keep their machines virus-free, etc.); it's what you'd expect to pay for an upgrade to a current Windows machine anyway. But with the actual retail price of AU$850... No, "I could by a P4 w/ Monitor and everything for that."

MacNews.de has pictures of a Mac Mini taken apart.  Looks like RAM and HD are definitely self upgradable.  I think that port just below the RAM slot is for the Airport card but I'm not sure.  No dice on the processor though, it's soldered on.
