On Tuesday, Apple will hold a snazzy press conference to unveil its latest line of MacBooks and MacBook Pros, with the slim possibility of some sort of new notebook model. The notebook market has indubitably taken off as consumers replace desktops with increasingly powerful portables that can fold in half. But what gives with Apple's other small computer, the Mac mini? The last time Apple updated its smallest Mac was Aug. 7, 2007 -- well over 14 months ago. If you think about it, 14 months in "computer" time without a single update is like 1 million years in geologic time.
GEEZ! I have been thinking this exact same thing for like 7 months. I thought 7 months ago -- "Man, I'd like to buy a new mini". Then I realized "Wow they haven't been updated for awhile... they are definitely lacking in the 'bang for buck' department. I guess I'll wait for them to be updated.. it shouldn't bee TOO long."
How wrong I was. Then I got all excited like two weeks ago, because before the invites to the press release were sent out, there were many rumors that the mini's might be updated on that day as well. Yet alas, no dice. Apple keeps on breaking my heart here, I can't wait forever for an updated mini. Soon I'm going to take my things and move on. Sorry Apple.
