1	Maybe the addition of USB 3.0, HDMI and an upgrade of RAM and CPU. answered Jun 06 '10 at 10:56 Dangerous 3.2k●10●20●46 The newly updated Mac mini has an HDMI port now. (Jul 21 '10 at 20:37) Granit

1	I think that they should make an aluminum unibody, and that they should make he RAM more accessible. Also, they should add an HDMI port, and they should include an SD card reader. Oh wait, they've already done that. answered Jul 20 '10 at 22:53 catchatyou 20.7k●89●165●383

0	I don't think a physical change is needed, probably faster processor as usual and more RAM. answered Jun 06 '10 at 10:53 Knunez 2.0k●3●10●32

0	A HDMI port, Most people us it as a media center with there HDTV so having a HDMI port would be really good. answered Jun 06 '10 at 10:55 TheTechBox 16●1

0	A spec refresh would be nice, no need to redesign, as that just happened. answered Jul 20 '10 at 23:54 alexleiphart 1.9k●26●34●55

0	they have now, by just releasing the new Mac Mini which costs £649 :) answered Jul 21 '10 at 20:22 coolsecretspy 556●7●9●15

The Mac mini did finally just get a new facelift after 4 years. I highly doubt it's physical design will change. Next year, after it's initial R&D and manufacturing cost, could drop down to $599 or even $499 again, though they may keep it at $699 to separate it a bit from the iPad for whatever reason.

I see USB 3.0 added, an SSD option, Firewire 1600 and 3200 support, and starting with 4gigs rather than 2. It'll get a GPU upgrade as well, and may sport an i5 or other newer proc option.

For people that may not know yet, the Mac mini has HDMI already, it was updated recently.
