Having been inside a mini (Intel) I don't see how they could make it *half* the size in *any* direction, without deleting something, and I see the optical drive as that something.
It *doesn't* "make sense" to me to make it smaller, but if that's what Stevie wants, that's what Stevie gets.
IF the rumors are right.
Slimmer iMac. Hmm. No optical there either? A new AirDrive, similar in concept to the Air Capsule? I hope not.
Faster, because of the Penryn? If that's the case, make mine the current flavor (SR?). Penryn in a MacBook makes sense regarding heat and battery life, I suppose. But unless they ramp it up at least 500MHz, will we see any of that "faster" at the rear wheels? Or will we need a benchmark utility to know that it's "faster".
I'm all for upgrades, but before Stevie gets my cash (for lesser cache) he's got to give me something more substantial than "New and Improved!" and a pitcher of Kool-Aid.
