Just showing up on the Apple Web site today is the new Intel-based Mac mini. Boasting 4x speed over its predecessor, and the many other add-ons including Front Row, Apple Remote, and software to allow media control from the comforts of your couch.

This thing looks sweet and I can’t wait to get one. Although I am still waiting for my MacBook Pro to show up as well. Check out the new mini over at the Apple site.

Live the digital life in stylish simplicity - up to four times faster. Just 6.5 inches square and 2 inches small, Mac mini lets you have more fun with your music, photos and movies, more quickly and more easily. Enjoy them up close or far away with the included Apple Remote. The most affordable way to Intel Core, iLife ‘06, and Front Row starts at $599.

Intel Core Duo chip

Mac mini makes it easy and affordable to work with digital photos, movies, music, and the web. And now it all happens with the blazing speed of the Intel Core, in either Solo or Duo configurations. Choose the Solo for a low-cost entry to iLife ‘06. Or select the Duo model for unprecedented power in such a small package - up to four times faster than previously. Coupled with an all new architecture and the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X, Mac mini runs all your modern and innovative software, speedily.
