Upgraded Mac Minis Confirmed by Apple

Sounds great. This should pacify some holdouts and boost sagging sales.

Well, it's about time. Delivering a product other than what you're advertising, even if it's better, is just odd.

What do you mean "it's about time"? They're still doing it. Sucks big time!

So, this should be official next Tuesday?

I just want to see the upgrade calendar reset so we can count to new models again. :D

The 1.33/1.50 versions are the new models. The 1.25/1.42 versions are the old models. However, both are being sold as current models with no differentiating between them, not even by model number. It's going to be a real mess for Apple retailers, AppleCare and customers. It's truly bizarre but then we have seen Apple pull the Mac mini test drive offer after less than a day, kill off the iPod mini in it's prime, switch to Intel, etc.

Clearing inventory is speculated as a possible reason for the unadvertised upgrades.

Apple must have a massive sticker inventory that they need to get rid of. :rolleyes:
Very strange to ship updated products without marking them as updated in any way.

So Apple confirmed it...yet didn't. Okkkay then.

Confirmation means something on the Apple page :(

Any luck with video memory, 64mb or the same as the new iBook??

I think that this is really a strange behavior from Apple. If you buy a computer you should know what you get and not just have to hope that you get what you want.

According to this post it will have 64MB vRAM, but not support Core Image. (that's from someone who apparently received one of the "new" Mac minis)
