I then asked him how I was supposed to try one to test it for purchase and his reply was "imagine half the speed of a duo, will that work for you?" bah. I already have an iMac (intel)...I need to see how the solo handles 1080p video streams...this isn't going to work for me!
Last time I talked to a sales rep at the local Apple store (24th and Camelback, for my fellow Phoenicians) I wasn't treated very well.. likely because I called him on a few things...
On the other hand, I was scoffing at the iMac G4 so this must've been a while ago...
As far as HD video.. yeah, you'd better test it first.
interesting to see the mini core solo out-perform the macbook pro in some of the xbench/cinebench tests.
crappy drivers for the ati x1600?
single vs dual channel memory?
The users in their forum were discussing that; Ars apparently has some major issues with their benchmarks, because there's no way the Core Solo Mac Mini should outperform the MacBook Pro in any tests.
