the JoshMeister and Brenn Hill discuss Apple’s neglect of the Mac mini, which was last updated over 1.5 years ago and is priced too high for some potential buyers. Meanwhile, inexpensive “netbook” PCs are rapidly gaining market share while Apple’s least expensive laptop starts at nearly $1000. Is it in Apple’s best interest to release a Mac netbook soon?
