Intel's own mini PC

A front view of Intel's Mac Mini-like home PC, which was unveiled at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco on Wednesday. The square, metallic-colored concept device is immediately reminiscent of the desktop computer Apple Computer introduced earlier this year. A remote rests atop the box.

How do these people keep coming up with these great designs?

Oh, that's right, they just rip them off of Apple.

Apple, the WinTel industry's free design department.

Not bad

I like the metal top as opposed to the off-white plastic of the
mini. This is thinner than the mini but its almost too thin for my
liking.

Apple wasn't the first company to use plastic!
by March 3, 2005 1:47 AM PST
That is usually my reply when hardcore mac fans are accusing
somebody of ripping Apple just because the make a pretty p.c.
But, in this case, what a blatant friggin' ripoff! Give me a break.

Intel [what] Inside?

Yes, it's a small enclosure. So, what are the specs?

can you copy a Kleenex?
by March 3, 2005 10:29 AM PST
The point is the approach to computing and it's form. Apple is
SPECIAL BY INSPIRATION and designs like the imac, the ipod and
the mac mini are just expressions of Apple inspiration. Apple
role is to lead and open eyes to people. When we'll stop noticing
things like this 'idea' from Wintel world it means that Apple
leadership is no more there. So, welcome to machines like this
one: they just means that Apple is still where is was designed to
be: in front. Simple, obvious design is often expression of a
really deep philosophy and just copying it is a way to show the
superiority of having a soul around the chips intead of having
just chips inside a box.

The point is that hardware and software are just implementation
TOOLS and not goals. The goal is the INSPIRATION of having
something working as you dream. HW and SW are just two sides
of the same coin and they must be considered as part of a
common goal. The aberration is to separate them, not the
opposite. Wright?

Is it a piece of tape on that sits on the backside :-)
by March 3, 2005 11:49 AM PST
I think it sets the standard. I have 2 computers at home. An Intel
based which I is about 4 times faster than my G4 Mac, and guess
- I almost never use the Intel based computer running XP. It is
years behind ;-)
