“and this Mac Mini now comes with internal speakers.” -FTA

The Mac Mini already comes with internal speakers. This may be a translation error though.

I’d probably buy one.

… but I’d like them to come standard with 7200rpm HDD’s and Apple bringing HD movies to the iTunes store. Not to mention I’d need a minidisplay to HDMI cable… when are those going to be available again?

It’s Mac mini, not MacMini. Also, currently the Mac mini has a tiny internal speaker.

I doubt Apple will do a modular design like described above, but I can see them releasing a low end model without an optical drive, like the MacBook Air.

A Mac mini with nVidia chipset would be great. Probably won’t have Firewire. I hope it comes with a MagSafe connector though, so it can be powered by Apple’s latest monitors.

¿Nuevo Concepto de la Mac Mini? | Mac User Boricua, on December 23rd, 2008 at 9:29 am

Rather than make the Mac mini smaller, I’d make it bigger. Not a whole lot bigger, but big enough to use a cheaper, 3.5″ desktop hard drive instead of a more expensive, 2.5″ laptop hard drive. 3.5″ drives tend to have larger capacities as well.

No 400 or 800 FW? My iMac does, my LaCie does,… just USB’s is an oversight.
I like tenjays concepts of 3.5″ HD like my LaCie (which also has 400 & 800 FW’s. And no, I am not an employee of LaCie either, the Rugged 160 Gig is just so right sized. But then again, in a few years, everything will be flash drives eh?

Why just a MAC Mini, why not a ‘MAC Mini TV’. An all in one set up, great for just about everybody. The Internet TV is expanding at a rapid pace so why not embrace it with a computer that can sit comfortably under the screen use the Internet whilst watching and recording a program or use it to watch iPlayer or whatever setup the TV stations are using. With an HDMI connection (a must) it would make a fantastic Media centre.

Why not, Peter? Because what you suggests makes much too much sense. If the product name doesn’t have a little ‘i’ in front, it doesn’t interest the iApple Company. Instead of making the Mac mini a feature-rich media center for family entertainment, I’m expecting iApple to announce a crippled, underpowered box in 24 different colors but with too few i/o ports, no FW, and no HDMI, built in China but packaging designed in California. Big whoop indeed.

None of the Mac Mini rumors mention video *IN* or HDMI out? HDMI for the Mac Mini is key for me as I want this to be a living room device. Apparently, Apple does not…
