Mac Mini Wants a Spot in Your Home Theater
Apple’s new toy has an HDMI port and Wireless N so it can stream HD video like nobody’s business. The Mac Mini behaves as though it wants a place alongside your home theater System. Its silent running, diminutive brushed aluminum form-factor makes it a stylish addition to any AV rig. But it’s not without problems – a $699 price tag isn’t the only hurdle you’ll negotiate to get yourself into the brand new Mac Mini.

I like it. Might have to take a pretty serious look at it.

Since they jumped on the hdmi bandwagon, i hope they jump on the blu-ray band wagon soon

Michael is off the scale
Why do you need that noise component such as blu-ray?
blu-ray is streamed as anything else..

I'm not sure what you mean by Blu-ray being streamed.Originally Posted by Michael
Today, blu-ray is the one way to be consistently guaranteed the highest possible quality audio and video when you watch movies.
Theoretically digital downloads and streams could potentially be as good.

Apple really is not touting it as a HTPC, but rather a souped up mac mini with some new features. As far as that goes it looks like a nice mini. I am tempted to get one to replace my macbook that I use as a desktop anyway. My son is still using my Old G4 tower and it has long since outlived itself, and he wants a laptop.

For once in blue moon I fully agree with Jeff's opinion about mac computer
Without proper software (like Plex/Boxee) and remote control support, htpc capabilities of Mac mini remain limited to small circuit of nerds like me

When you're arguing with an idiot, make sure the person you are speaking to isn't doing the same thing.

Did they drop the remote support for this new mini? My Dad's mini has a remote and so does my macbook. That would be really a dumb move, but I don't see it listed as included.For once in blue moon I fully agree with Jeff's opinion about mac computer

Now it's $20 option. But I wasn't talking about apple remote - I don't want a million remotes in my living room and my htpc is controlled by same universal remote.
