Think he was taking the mick a little with the "Steve" response, in the same way Jobs occasionally replies to customer queries in similar fashion.

You're quite right that it isn't a gaming machine. However, if need requires and say I'd I'm travelling on the train and fancy a quick game of x or y, I'd like to be able to actually play it. Also, without doubt it's a downgrade in terms of GFX has left me disappointed with the revision.

New Mini's very tasty. Should be reasonably easy to chuck my own SSD in as the primary drive with the right cables I reckon - tear-down looks that way, anyway.
My assertion to friends that the iPad is a gateway drug was spot on as well.... a week ago I get an iPad 2, today I walk into the Apple store in Gateshead, wave my NHS ID and a pay slip and say "4gb Mac Mini, wireless keyboard and trackpad please". Job done.
Had kind of been toying with the idea for a while, after looking at what I did with my "PC", and came to the conclusion that I could handle a Mac. Got sick of the Galaxy Tab the other week, so gave that to the missis and bought an iPad.... big mistake!
Kept the HD monitor from my PC (now relegated to VGA input!) and am busy tinkering and finding my way around. Seems a far cry from my last experience with a Mac several years back, with the first Mini (sold for profit after a few weeks). Lion just feels MUCH easier to get on with than OS X was back then.
27" Thunderbolt monitor and 11" MBA next please!

Last night my old MacBook Pro (2.4GHz C2D, 8600M GT without hardware acceleration) was struggling on a MKV Blu-Ray dump of The King's Speech blu-ray... Bloody tempted to get a new Mac Mini with the ATi 6630M in it!
