More expensive Macs.</p><p>Try again Apple. The iMac keeps on getting bigger, more complex, and more expensive.</p><p>In the meantime, the Mac Mini is just standing still.</p><p>How about a $300 15" iMac that schools and companies can deploy en masse. It doesn't need an optical drive, maybe not even firewire.</p><p>And how about a $200 Mac Mini, like the Mac TV, without an optical drive, without even an internal drive, just an external SATA port and a matching hard drive enclosure. It would be great for companies and home servers.</p><p>I've been a long time multi-platform user, and I use Macs, but everytime Apple clicks they manage to shoot themselves in the foot by moving upmarket.</p>love relationshipsMon, 08 Dec 2008 19:54:40 -0000
