Predict Mac mini Core 2 Duo - IronMac - 02-17-2007
Out of extreme curiousity mixed in with procrastination, does anyone care to speculate when Apple might be introducing Core 2 Duo minis?

I don't know but it's taking way too long. This is the desktop Mac that switchers gravitate to and yet it uses yesterday's technology. Our office needs a new Mac for the interns yet I won't purchase one until Apple upgrades the mini.

On the same token, though, this is supposed to be the bare-bones low-cost entry point. Older chip = lower cost.

Apple really should address this drooling with envy issue.
:-)
Seriously.
I want one, too.

what billb said.
Hopefully, a C2D and better graphics. I'd settle for a combo drive as I prefer FW burners!
Seriously drooling

On the same token, since it uses an older chip why don't they lower the price? I know these
older chips fall in price all the time. I think they should be selling the lower Mini for about
$400-450. Hard drive, optical drive and ram prices are also way down.

You're absolutely right, Apple should gives those damn things away!
So G11, you work for free?

Maybe the mini isn't selling well and they have a large inventory to clear before changing over to the C2D.
