don't get your hopes up.... this was Intel's way of reminding it's customers that it is theoretically possible to build a mini-pc to compete with Apple's MiniMac.
Now time for the apple folks to chuckle... unlike the MiniMac announcement, that up there ^, is "just a case" plastic with a clock and little more. Although I am sure Intel would assist in advice and logistics of gettign chips to compete on that market place, that is NOT a real PC and everyone pretty much understands that Intel doesn't build PCs anymore (I actually had a Pentium 50mhz, true Intel PC once upon a time).
Talk among yourselves. I'll give you a topic... Who has the last laugh? :) Apple with a real box ready to sell? or Intel with a concept to spur market to demand a PC equivalent that doesn't exist yet? :D ... Discuss!
