Anyone else think Apple needs a 15in LCD?
Now that Apple has a cracking looking cheap Mac, surely they need a cheap LCD to go with it? Ye, the Mac mini is aimed at people who already have a monitor, but not every one has an old PC monitor they would want to use with it. I'm not the kind of person that needs to have a matching DVD player, VCR and TV, but I would happily pay £200 for a monitor to match my Mac. What do you think?

Agreed. I'm really surprised they didn't come out with a matching 17" display.

Apple could/should come out with a 17" but that's about it and if they don't I won't be distraught as there are plenty of LCDs out there to choose from.
I agree though, there is a need for another monitor in the Apple product line to give people more affordable choices..
I think that this represents a much better opportunity to stop the losses in the education market than trying to sell laptops. Whether Apple laptops are "good value" or not, the fact is that laptops are expensive compared to other machines whether they are Wintel or Apple.
Just about everyone has some sort of "I could have done it better" thought about the external design/appearance of the Mini, but it's OK. I have not seen any internal pictures as yet, but the descriptions lead me to believe it is a "parts bin" machine using existing hardware in a new package. Even though the parts appear to come from the laptop "parts bin" it will keep the costs down.
It should be interesting to see what happens in the next few months.
I can already hear Jobs MWSF 2006: "The number one request has been for a 17 inch display to match the Mac mini..."
