[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1637700, member: 134861"] Sure. Totally agree. And if I need to do something that needs horsepower, it goes on my big desktop iMac, not a mini. But, my point is that the downgrade of the Mini line had to be on the direct orders of Sales. Nobody in engineering would have said, "Lets bring out the next versions with less capability than what they are replacing." In in other words, I suspect that a meeting had someone highly placed who said, "Lets not give our customers a reason to buy a cheaper Mini rather than an iMac." Or words to that effect. Not that this is a sudden sales discovery by Apple. New and Improved products that are less than what they are replacing are announced every day. But Apple users are not clueless shoppers. They know what they are buying and what the capabilities are. And you can imagine what Steve Jobs would have said to the person making the suggestion. [/QUOTE]
