[Kevin Callahan]

  I suppose a Mac Mini using the Core 2 Duo bundled with an Elgato TV  
system would be very competitive ..

Core 2 Duo shows up in Mini PC

The Mac Mini may have some stiff competition in the mini PC market as  
the current Mac mini offering continues to show its age. Electronista  
reports that, "Though Apple is widely rumored to use the Core 2 Duo  
in its Mac mini systems after Labor Day, it will not be the first  
system builder to announce an ultra-compact PC using the new  
processors." The new miniature computer is the Evesham Mini PC; an  
existing line which retails for about $1300 (USD) with the same specs  
as a $850 BTO Mac mini. The advantage this ultra-compact boasts is a  
built-in TV tuner (HD capable) and media center functionality --  
including Windows XP Media Center edition out of the box. The latest  
version of Mini PC--announced this week--will reportedly cost $1500  
(USD including tax) and pack a 2GHz Core 2 Duo processor adding a DVD 
±RW drive, FireWire, and an S-Video output. The new system is  
expected to ship mid-September as Core 2 Duo supply steadies. [image
