New Mac Mini To Appear at Macworld Expo 2009!

by Jay Garrett on December 16, 2008

mac_miniAfter the initial reports that the  Mac mini was being killed off a new version is rumoured to be appearing at MacWorld 2009 according to Gadget Lab:

Apple will launch an upgrade to its low-end desktop, the Mac Mini, at January’s Macworld Expo in San Francisco, according to an Apple corporate employee who contacted Wired.com.

The source, who wished to remain anonymous (to keep his job), could not disclose details about the Mac Mini other than its upcoming announcement at Macworld Expo, which begins Jan. 5.

Wired is backing this info but is unable to bolster it with any other good solid follow-up meat.

A guesstimate on the specs include the likes of an aluminum brick design (in a desktop? why?), DisplayPort, and 4GB of RAM maximum, with 2.0-GHz Core 2 Duo and a 2.3-GHz Core 2 Duo.

Have you heard anything about this?

Let me know :)

Replace MacBook Air Battery for Not Very Much

by Jay Garrett on January 18, 2008

MacBookAIR4A lot of people like the MBA; but a lot of people don’t like the fact that you can’t change the battery.

If you give your portable puter some hammer a spare (charged!) battery is always useful.  Apple have kinda met prospective buyers of their tiny baby halfway – they will replace the battery when it gets to the end of it’s life for $129 including installation.  That’s pretty cheap compared to what people were speculating it would cost!

Still, no chance of carrying that spare; but then out of a full charge the micro-mac will sip at the charge for a full 5 hours.  That should give you time to find a power socket.
