No Firewire...?!
It was the last Mac with Firewire. What did you expect? RS232 ports and a Floppy drive also?

Base model will probably still have 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Awful
Then don't purchase the base model ??
We all can't have top end specs at rock bottom pricing, sure you want that, hell so do I but it has never happened and it won't start today.
We all have to pay to play on better, faster equipment.

WTH Apple?? No quad core anymore?? That's really lame. We waited 2 years for you to cripple the Mac Mini with a dual core?

Just been on livechat
Just been on livechat as I saw this in the order page.
"Configurable to 8GB or 16GB, only at the Apple Online Store."
However livechat has responded.

i7 is BTO now.
The i7 is a dual-core.
Configurable to 3.0GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz) with 4MB on-chip shared L3 cache.
Disappointing. I was finally going to get rid of my Windows server but I need the quad-core. Oh well.

no quad core option
no user-upgradable ram
low-end model ridiculously crippled
i'll bet anything the internal changes to allow for the PCIe Flash storage also means you cant put two drives inside of it anymore
another mac line ruined.
no thanks

yeah, you're right. he actually gave apple too much credit by assuming they'd put an SSD in the low-end machine. 1.4ghz and a 5400rpm drive? what is this, 2005?

And looks like you are wrong, how unsurprising.
