http://www.thinksecret.com/news/0509macmini.htmlThinkSecret disse:A Mac mini update is ready for roll-out just two months after Apple bumped the RAM on the systems and added a SuperDrive model, Think Secret has learned. The systems, which are currently in transit to retailers, were originally slated to roll-out this week but may not appear until next week. No announcement is planned beyond a possible press release.
The low-end Mac mini will be upgraded from a 1.25GHz G4 processor to a 1.33GHz G4, while the high-end will see an equally modest bump from 1.42GHz to 1.5GHz. Hard drive capacities are expected to remain the same but will be upgraded from 4,200-rpm drives to 5,400-rpm. The mid-range and high-end models will receive a new AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth module featuring Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. Lastly, the high-end model will see its 4x SuperDrive upgraded to an 8x dual-layer model.
Pricing will remain the same at $499, $599, and $699, sources said.
Tenho dois pontos de vista em relação a isto. Por um lado acho que o que o Mini mais precisa é um upgrade da placa gráfica. Aquela não suporta nem o Core Image nem sequer se aguenta à broa com um bom TFT.
Por outro lado o Mini para ter este aspecto melhorado precisa provavelmente duma nova board ou seja dum novo Mini. Isto não é lá muito trivial. Além disso estes upgrades devem fazer com o que Mini não pareça tão caro (ou pouco barato) em relação aos iBooks.
