Its True! Its True!! :)

This is the first time I've been excited by a Mac product.

However, I can't help but think about the Nanode.

What you need though - to be fair - is a nanode based around a Pentium M or A64... Now that would kick arse. The VIA CPU + chipset sucks like a jet engine.

I want one too

Really very expensive though. Equip one half decently and it comes out at £600! May look nice but way too expensive. This doesn't include a monitor either. I would spend a bit moe and get a new iMac or get a shuttle.

TBH all you need to get one up and running at decent speed is 512 MB, so 339 + 50 quid, which is not THAT expensive.

Also a flight to the states means you get one cheaper

that's just too cute - they should've made wireless and bluetooth standard tho. me wants one - I personally think Apple is going to be hitting CE very hard this year.

my problem is that I just hate the UI - even when I was doing mac support I couldn't get my head around it.

No student disocunt on this one, just looked and all you get is free shipping. Same for iPod flas due to the absolutely microscopic margin on these

really? it took me about a week to get used to the UI, thats it. its not awful or bad, its just different to windows

[Mblaster]

I like the design, i like the size, but it's a Mac

Not possible to load Windows on is it?

nope, sorry, i got a £20 off the mini mac and i'm sure i got a couple of quid off the ipod shuffle just by going to the education store part of the site

if i went on through uni servers i would get more than that off

sorry must have been such a tiny amount I didn't notice!

I almost made this same mistake. RRP is £339 Student price is £318 thats poor, but wat u gona do.

actually, these are REALLY cute

wonder if there's a USB2 Freeview tuner supported by the linux kernel...

[DR]

thats what I was thinking - a media centre style box

I have my myth box running a 2.6 kernel and the avermedia dvb-t PCI card running really nicely. Not sure about USB 2 hardware tho...

MythTV rules.

i wonder if big steve is thinking it too...

mac mini is the perfect form factor for a media center, and they could even work on an existing open-source project such as mythtv, the same way they worked on kde's konqueror to make safari.
