Other than the lack of a upgrade to the 'N' standard for wireless ethernet, I think it was a good update. It was long overdue though.

[Cypher]

just what I was waiting for, but a free leopard upgrade voucher would have been nice though.

[heavy_nutz]

it was ok, nothing to get really really excited about though

I wanted N, the GPU I can understand when it would make it better than the one in the MacBook.

It was okay, could have been better. I think the people here predicted it a ways back.

[WheelSpinners]

Let me just say this. I should have waited a few weeks to buy.

[TonyMontana]

I voted BAD.

I knew Apple wasn't going to redesign the mini, but hey no "n" card?

That is an easy upgrade on the assembly line.

I think you gotta consider this a "refresh" and not a true upgrade. This exact same upgrade has been available to any Intel mini owner since the core2duo's came out.

However, I did vote "ok". This was the bare minimum needed to keep the mini line alive...and I excepted nothing else from Apple.

I like the increase in the new mini, Would of been nice to see wireless N and a voucher for the next OS 10.5

i'm glad i got a macbook pro after they were updated (was originally gonna get a mac mini, but the MBP seemed like the best value to me, i know it sounds crazy but hey)
if i had waited for the mini update i would've been really disappointed.
the iMac update is pretty cool though, i love the new wireless keyboards, especially with the video controls on it (play/pause, rewind etc) and the small size makes it ideal for htpc.

in fact i just looked at the specs again for the 2.0GHz model mini, it is pretty good now that i think about it a bit more, and back to what it was before, i've just been spoiled by the macbook pro shame about the n though, still good to see it's still alive even though it's off my shopping list now.

I'm pleased that Apple upgraded it (or refreshed it in iMav's words). I would say they did the bare minimum but to be fair, Apple was constrained by the MacBook specs on one side and the iMac's on the other. Ideally, I would have liked a redesigned mini that could accommodate a 3.5" drive and contained an independent GPU. But I will be buying this one; just have to decide whether to wait for Leopard or not.

Well, it was good enough for me. I'm buying the 1.83GHz model next paycheck.

The upgrade is good, however, I'm not rushing out to buy another mini. The Core Duo model which I bought in January '07 is more than adequate for my needs.
