Mac Mini receiving updates and not getting kicked off the team?

Matt Burns

Claims of the Mac Mini’s demise might have been premature as a new source indicates that a spec bump is coming soon. Macminicolo, a Las Vagas-based Mac Mini firm, is stating that they are 100% percent sure that Amazon’s best selling desktop computer will be around to fight another day and should receive Apple’s latest standard upgrades of a Mini DisplayPort output, 4GB of maximum RAM and a SATA optical drive interface. (can we assume no Firewire 400 too?) While Macminicolom is 100% sure, this is still filed in the same ‘rumor’ folder that the claim that the Mini was being discontinued until Apple comes out with an official statement.
