mac-mini refresh? Or has it been refreshed?

[kirkster]

Hello, I see on Apples web site mention of the "mac-mini 2011". Is this marketing sh** and just a relaunch of the existing generation or has this device been refreshed already? I was expecting quad cpu and more memory perhaps.

Also, are Apple every going to support blu-ray do you think?

They've never updated the Mini with the same regularity as the iMacs or MBPs. C2D is a bit old, but given most people will only use the thing for 'the basics' or HTPC stuff, it can do all those without breaking a sweat, so I don't see them upgrading it for a while yet.

Hmmm, Not sure what to do TBH. I wanted one instead of a iMac since I have high end monitors etc already and need to use PC's for work. I could then double the PC main monitor with the Mac-mini. I want a baby one to run some VM's 24x7 and double as a media server with a load of cheapo USB drives.

I might buy a 2009 model off the bay to have a play around.
