Rumour: nVidia Ion-Powered Apple Mac Mini Coming Comments

""...with rivals such as the Dell Studio Hybrid slowly offering compelling..."

Aah...

"(albeit Windows-based) alternatives,..."

Aww...

Yo-yo moment.

In all seriousness, I'm looking at the mac mini myself. I'd love to get an iMac but the price for the 24 inch is so high, and I want to have a huge screen to work on. All I'm using is this 13inch screen on my Vaio (1280 x 800), yeah, it gets cramped pretty quick. The price hopefully will come down or at least offer more for the money than the current minis' (Apple though, so not holding my breath), like the idea of being able to choose my own monitor although I like the all in one idea more but price...

And now for the wild speculation, **cracks knuckles**, starting price of $500, hdmi and dvi out, terabyte hard drives, blu-ray drives, 4gigs of memory, hmm, quad core power, discrete graphics, and oh what else... Anybody?

It'll be displayport only, HDMI no way. Also will just be regular DVD as stevie said "BluRay was a bag of hurt".

Shame :(

I've been using my 2Ghz Mac Mini as a media centre for 6 months now and slowly encoding lots of video in the hope of one day streaming it over a wireless N netowrk to a scrummy AppleTV.

Sadly, after recently buying one, I had to return it as it just couldn't cope with 25fps standard video encoded at 3500kbps. (something I did as I have a projector) I'd love to see a decent processor in those units capable of playing back full HD content - I really hope Apple will get around to giving us an AppleTV that's man enough for the job. then I'll snap one up again.
