Revised Mac mini Now Shipping?
According to a user submission, Apple has started shipping 1.5Ghz G4 Mac minis while still packaged in 1.42Ghz boxes. The system profiler shows the video card as a 64MB VRAM Radeon 9200, and a Dual-Layer 8x SuperDrive.
Mac mini upgrades were recently rumored in this page 2 post. The Apple online store still lists the Mac mini as being offered with either a 1.25Ghz or 1.42Ghz PowerPC G4.
Update: ThinkSecret is now publishing corroborating evidence.

Here's to hoping, but I'm incredibly doubtful that Apple would do this without hint or mention to the customer.

that's completely stupid. why would they bother to upgrade the specs if they won't even change the lettering / numbering on the boxes to ADVERTISE the upgrade! Sounds like a whole lotta bullplop :) ...bullplop is a funny word haha.

I've never heard of Apple shipping a different processor than the label shows. Has anyone?

any screen shots to back this up? and seems weird that they'd nix updating the site and packaging materials.

That very same screenshot does not contain ANY information to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it came from a Mac mini.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe that Apple would be stealth-shipping 1.5 GHz Mac minis when NO part of the Apple web site mentions this.

Now this is a true definition of a "quiet update". Reporters, bloggers, ... please take note of this when you continue to report on so-called "quiet updates" in the future and keep things in perspective.

Interesting... if it's true it's nice that they went to 64mb VRAM, but kind of a weak video card upgrade... a 9200 with 256mb of VRAM is still a 9200. Should be a 9550/64mb at the least!
