I think it's hilarious that Steve Jobs has said that he doesn't really like the Mac Mini, since it's the most "Mac-ish" one still left.
Personally I've become quite unhappy with Apple in general. They care more about cell phones and mp3 players than computers. Sorry Steve-O, but it'll always be Apple Computer Inc. Steve defeated "big brother" by becoming him.
The Mac Mini is an awesome little machine, it's cute, it's affordable, and it was unique. I ran out and got one when they came out because I had always wanted a G4 cube, and this was pretty close. If anything I think they just need to liven them up, what happened to all of the colors and candystripes?? Seriously, the new Macs are all GRAY, how exciting!
Still I'd buy a Mac Mini over a Mac laptop any day. The Mini is a great value, and the iMacs are a pretty good value as well, the laptops are a joke though.
Let's see, I can get a 3.06ghz 4gb RAM 500gb iMac with a 21.5" screen for $1200...or I can get a much slower MBP with a 160gb hard drive and a 13" screen for that price. Seriously, what is PRO about a 13" laptop with a 160gb hard drive? 160gb?? Even the MacBook has a 250gb now...but of course they've removed the firewire turning it into a freakin' paperweight.
