Today you can buy a Mac Mini with 16GB RAM and i5 2.6 GHz processor for $900!  So $200 more for a very slight increase in processor speed. Hardly worth the increase IMO. |
And here I thought Apple was being nice by cutting the price on an aging model. Instead, they crippled it and then cut the price.
