As I said, the Mac mini is not particularly competitive at the moment because it hasn't been refreshed in a long time.ZnUMayor Of R'lyeh
Apple could make the thing a fair bit cheaper by just making it a bit larger, so it wouldn't have to use laptop RAM and optical & hard drives.
The 'parts are expensive' excuse for Apple's pricing has been blown out of the water more times than the French Navy. Its especially hard to justify this now that everybody uses the same parts. There are PC laptops with similar features to the Mini for less money which makes your argument obviously not true.
