Coming out Jan 22nd.

If you want Audio in, you need to buy an USB adaptor for that, hopefully you don't need to buy the expensive on Apple sells.

The 1Gb RAM upgrade is WAY over priced as one might expect from Apple. I wonder if you can use some standard Kingston RAM?

Since you can add your own RAM, then I wonder if they will offer them without RAM? Then again I could use the mini Mac stick in my PC...

only $14 a month...

Also if you put your own RAM in...

...guess what? You void the freaking warrenty. So basically Apple wants you to spend $320 extra on $100 RAM. On the other hand you can get the 512 upgrade for pretty cheap, use that for a while, then upgrade later when you are secure that your mini is not going to break down.


 GFX chipset and RAM is NOT upgradable upon order.

 TV Adaptor only $20 extra.

 Student discount is only $20 off (LAME).

 All units sold, you will not get one on the 22nd, but it will be around up to 4 weeks later.

 Think that's all.


See, now if Amiga would just die, then KMOS or who ever could then take Amiga OS, port it to these, and we would not need the damn memory upgrade, but no Amiga must be owned by some idiots who are once again going to kill the platform by not allowing the OS to run on affordable hardware for a change.

I dunno, I am REALLY excited about getting this new piece of hardware (the dvd rom BETTER not be crap!!!!), but I will never get over the fact that by simply lifting the lid, dropping on some RAM and closing it, you break warrenty. Also Mac is royally screwing over un-aware customers by charging $300 over the 1Gb RAM stick's worth. That is INSANE!!

Can't wait to try UAE on it, hope the Mac port is up to par with the winblows version.

Also as a side note and possible omen, Bungie just released Marathon 1-3 for free today. Which makes me wonder,"has Aleph-One beeb ported to the Amiga yet?".

ok, $200 - $300 I'll give you that much, but STILL! Man, screw apple, they are no better than M$ in that respect.

As for Warrenty...

...I'm going by what the Apple rep told me on the phone today.
