Potential switchers might get the wrong impression when they use a Mac with yesterday's specs. Bargain hunters are going to keep looking at $499 3 GHz Dells. iPod owners are not bargain hunters. This doesn't make any sense to me...UNLESS margins on this thing are going to be super-duper.
I completely agree with this post. It just doesn't seem like something for Apple to do--being known for their all-in-one approach for home machines.

Just wondering... What is TS's track record when it comes to these things from anonymous sources?
