Apple is in the news again. Today Apple released the mini with an Intel chip.  The base model which houses a 1.5GHz Intel Core Solo processor starts at $699 CAN.  If you want something that will be a little faster then you are looking at the 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo model that starts at $949 CAN.  The Duo also comes with a 80GB hard drive (instead of 60GB) and a SuperDrive (instead of a Combo drive).  If I was buying one I would definately want the Duo with the SuperDrive.  On the other hand, the Mac mini doesn’t come with a monitor, keyboard or mouse (BYODKM - bring your own display, keyboard and mouse) which makes will add roughly another $450.  Once your all said and done, it’s probably better to just buy an iMac because it has a bigger processor, bigger hard drive and a better video card and it’s only $1499 CAN.

Either way, I would probably wait on this a little bit since they are very new.  Let Apple iron out the bugs and then get a new Intel Mac.

There are talks of a possible VoIP iPod…
