No, don't wait. I just went to the Apple store. Bought a Mac Mini - it's the updated one.
How can you tell before you buy? Simple. Go to the store. Ask to see the box. Write down the serial number on the box. Tell them you need to think about it some more. Walk over to one of the systems on display, go to Apple.com and click on Support. Type the serial number into the "check my registration/warranty" box on the lower right corner of the page. If it says "Mac Mini", it's the old one. If it says "Mac Mini (Late 2005)" - It's the new one. Simple, and we think, foolproof. Adam |

I see where the Best Buy website is completely sold out of the Mini.
Interesting. |

For those in the NJ/NY area: The Apple Store in the Palisades Center Mall (Nyack, NY) sold me a serial number "537" which contained a mini with refreshed specs.

I returned it (which they did quite happily) and spoke with the manager about the upgrade. He was kind enough to actually check the highest numbered serial numbers they had against the web site, as described above, and unfortunately none of them came up with the updated spec. He also called California to confirm the spec change which they did, grudgingly. Unfortunately he also said that they had a reasonable number in stock and probably wouldn't get refreshed stock for a while. He suggested trying the online store. I called them and they totally refused to confirm the upgraded specs, so guess you are taking the lucky dip option there. However the delay did mean that I now have a 20" iMac (iSight) on order... so guess Apple and I will do well out of the deal! |

my wife just bought me a new superdrive mac mini from the New York Apple Store and the serial number on the box is YM537xxxxx (which means its a new spec version) - she's coming back to London tomorrow - can't wait to get my new mac mini!
