Mac Mini End Of Life?

Mini is EOL'd sources are telling folks over at AppleInsider. This makes me think a new system is on the way. So Long Mini, Hello ....Macintosh? Im hoping for the consumer tower. Anyone think there is a chance of Apple bringing in a new machine or perhaps a cubelike redo?

I'd be all over a consumer tower, but just don't see it happening.

I suspect a smaller form factor or a merge of the Apple-TV / mini.

Yeah i'd be tempted by that. Maybe it's just minor updates to the mini though.

Give it dedicated graphics and I'd buy one! (A combination of Mini and AppleTV).

And here's the article.

I believe it will be a revamp to the mini line. This also ties in with the Macbook rumors as they both use the same GMA950 and are both rumored for a change soon. Perhaps with Leopard apple realised that the 950 isn't going to perform too well. Heres to updated graphics in both the Macbook and the new Mini.

Apple hasnt done anything with Mini in a long long time. This latest update was just a cpu change and they didnt say much. Apple needs 3 desktops in my view, a consumer tower,a all in one and a Pro Model. I thought this was interesting since we own one and when Apple has a slight upgrade and says nothing then usually a replacement is on the way. It would be a terrific time to introduce a new OS and a new "Macintosh" to run it as long as it didnt have integrated graphics.:D

They are making room for the new Mac Semi-Pro ;)

Seriously, it would be a real shame if they dropped the mini completely. :(

The August Mac mini update didn't require any sort of retooling. I doubt there was any cost to doing it for two months.

I hope that apple decides against the mini, I know of more than a few people who are just waiting for some quick cash to come through and with their own monitor and inputs, they can have their mac
