Apple Upgrades Mac mini, Doesn't Tell Anybody

Posted by Zonk on Saturday October 8, 2005 @07:42AM from the it's-like-christmas dept.

echomancer writes "Think Secret is reporting that Apple has released a slightly updated version of the Mac mini, but has failed to tell anyone. Some Mac minis may now include a 1.5GHz processor, 64MB of VRAM, and an updated 8x superdrive but these new machines are being shipped in boxes reflecting the original specs. 'The motivation behind this is to help clear current inventory without lowering prices. Essentially, customers are promised that the Mac mini they purchase will have specifications at least equal to the label, but that their system may exceed those.'"

I use a Mac every day. I have no idea what you're talking about. Either your OS installation got mucked up, you have a hardware problem, or you're not truthful. Sounds like it's probably the first of the three. Have you tried the drive on another Mac? I haven't known the finder to "fall over". When I close apps, they close.
