    So in part of the packages that read "1.42 GHz" around the world, there's going to be 1.5 GHz computers that have a better graphics card, too. Hmm... Even though I understand they don't want the 'old' models to stay on the shelves, I think that strategy is a bit fishy. Although, of course, only for those who _know_ there are supposed to be better Mac minis out there. If you think you buy a 1.42 GHz machine and get one, everything's okay. If you get an 1.5 GHz one, even better. But if you're looking for those faster machines, that's going to be a tad more difficult for a while.

    Confirmed by Apple, according to the Yahoo!/AP/MacCentral.

    “Some Mac mini systems may contain components that slightly exceed the published specifications,” said Apple in a statement provided to MacCentral. “There are no changes to the published specifications or part numbers.”

    mini or no mini?

    Mmm, just been reading your comments on the mac mini's.
    The other day, I went in to PC World in Swindon and try to buy a mac mini. The shop assistant said he didn't have any in - and he wouldn't be getting anymore in either!
    I tried to buy the "shop soiled" one off the shelf and he wouldn't even sell me that!!!
    He then informed me that mac weren't making any more mini's and are bringing out a new model.
    Fuel to the fire anyone?

    I think it's kind of dodgy that Apple releases an OS with Core Image months ago, yet in the case of this new mini a brand new computer doesn't support it.

    Actually that's just ignorance. I wouldn't trust the staff at PC World to tell me if it was raining outside. They are there to sell, not to inform. Try John Lewis or an Apple Centre if you want genned-up info.
