Ah so the existing "mini" PC with similar specs to the current Mac  
mini is over $400 dollars more then the Mac mini. So I guess the new  
one that is going to compete with the Mac mini is closers in price  
with greater capabilities...

...then again maybe not.

So the Mac Mini is getting "stiff" competition from a "mini" PC that  
is almost twice the cost of the Mac mini?
