Mac mini: Alive and Kicking?

Mac miniAppleinsider has a piece up about the state of the Mac mini, which has been considered to be near discontinuation. According to Brian Stucki, who runs a Mac mini-based server colocation service, the mini is selling very well—but to businesses.

“When I read online of people stating ‘poor mini sales,’ I’m surprised,” Stucki wrote in the this week’s report. “The Mac mini is consistently in the top five of Amazon’s Bestselling Desktop Computers. (It’s currently number one.) If you watch Apple’s Refurb site, anytime some Mac minis are posted they sell out in under an hour. Even the three year old G4 Mac minis on ebay go for a price close to the brand new Intel machine’s sticker price. The market speaks even if Apple doesn’t.”

In a report titled The State of the Mac mini, Stucki predicts another Mac mini upgrade, along with addition of the new Mini Display Port, a RAM upgrade, and the addition of a SATA connection to the optical drive.
