...interesting move by Jobs.

Apple may get what it is wishing for with this move, but should be careful of what it wishes for.

Hmm, weak CPU. Memory is ok. Small HD. The lack of keyboard, moniter, and mouse is odd.

how do you control the computer without keyboard, monitor, or mouse? is it voice command?

I don't really see what this thing is gonna be good for.
Not powerful or high end but neither what I'd expect from mini computer designed for some special applications.

Looking at the default config: GFX too stong for a server, mem too low for games, heat/nois/power consumption too high for 24/7 slave.

I'd rather go for VIA's Mini/Nano -ITX.

And a notebook without keyboard, touchpad, screen and battery would probably cost the same as that Mac
