Ya, integrated graphics are pissin alot of people off over at engadget's comments. Everything looks great but the graphics is a step backwards. Its most definitly a way to cut costs and try to keep this cheap. With the new intels and faster hd's, they had to cut back somewhere. I love it how they have a dvi output coming out of this system with integrated graphics.

the starting price is good, i think, even without dedicated graphics, for a basic system. When you add RAM and upgrade stuff is when it seems to get a little overpriced.

DVI isn't just for advanced graphics, and I think it's a good feature. it's a tempting little system for the offspring.

hehe - they also introduced a $99 ipod case

Not quite sure what sort of idiot will buy it, but I can't imagine they will need to sell many to make a profit...

good point, $7.50 worth of leather and an Apple stamp. You know they'll sell a million of them.

Hey, it's an accessory, if people like it, more power to them.

the high end mac mini is well over priced, it's suppose to be a low priced computer, however it's quite pricey without a monitor or anything. well the core duo one anyway.

It's only a good deal if you get the cheap unit and don't upgrade anything. Otherwise, go for the iMac for the better deal.

It's supposedly better quality
I would have liked to see a case from apple where you wouldn't have to take it out of the case in order to operate it.
