Unboxing and Disassembly Photos of the New Mac Mini
MacMiniColo.net has posted a series of unboxing and disassembly photos of the new Mac Mini just released today. The above photo, of course, is the same shot that was leaked just yesterday. The retail box image of the Mini curiously only has 9 vents while the actual product has 10. Still, all the pre-release product shots and video turned out to be quite accurate. Aside from the different ports in the back, the new Mac Mini is nearly identical to the previous model:
The outside of the Mac mini's casing seems nearly identical. It has the same aluminum siding and the white plastic top. I guess I can't prove it, but having handled several hundred of the last generation Mac minis, the aluminum feels different. Perhaps it was manufactured differently.

I wish it was cheaper. 120GB HD and 1G of RAM, I don't think I can justify purchasing it.

Would have been nice to see the Mac mini entry price fall back below $500 - back to $499 given the economic backdrop.

I agree these should cost 499 especially in this economy. Also it would be nice for a 999 iMac again.

You'd think people would be happy that the thing was updated (after all the complaining about that) but then there is always a complaint about price.
I've heard complaints about the price being lowered because of the tough times ... would people seriously say it was OK to raise the price when the times got better? Not a chance. Once a price is lowered, it would pretty much be stuck.
Remember, the mini is designed to be a low-end "intro" computer to get people familiar with the ease and functionality of Apple computers. It is NOT designed to be a computer to compete with low-end PCs.
