I finally made it to the Apple store to check out the new Mac Mini. Just looking at it you can't help but think "how on earth did they cram all that in there?" Apple continues to amaze with its new designs starting first with the new iMac and now with the Mac Mini (which thankfully doesn't have an "i" in front of it). The power adapter is quite large and is so disproportionate in size to the mini it seems out of place. The Mac Mini is not for everyone. As a consumer you really need to understand the limitations of this thing. I still find it incomprehensible for Apple to not include 512 megs of RAM. I'm sure that the decision was made to hit the $499 price point. Apple is so good at providing a comprehensive out of the box experience I just can't see why 512 megs would not be standard. How many people actually use 256 megs and are content? None the less, the Mac Mini is real eye candy and irresistible despite its speed limitations for what's current CPU technology for a desktop.
