just got back from the apple store in gurney plaza penang and am happy to report that the upgraded mac minis are on sale. finally after all the speculations and drooling while lurking in other foreign mac forums. there was one on display and i made it a point to get the specs from the finder bar.
for those waiting for it, go ahead and indulge yourself. i presume they are also on sale in the kl outlets. as for me, its a case of too little too late. i just got a new windoze desktop so no new computers for me at least for the next 4 years.

yes but whenever i go to the shop to enquire, they always tell me that as far as they know there is no official word on the upgrade. 2 months ago when i was messing around with their display unit, it was still the old specs.
if you visit foreign forums, a lot of people were already getting the 'secret' upgrade way back in october/november.

sorry to waste too much of your time but the link that u provided pointed to the 1.42 GHz chip. i was referring to the unannounced but upgraded (by apple) specs of 1.52 GHz chip. refer to prasys' post above this.

xaw5126, you are mistaken.

"Multiple reports exist that the Mac mini was quietly upgraded in October 2005 to 64 MB VRAM, and either a 1.33 GHz (up from 1.25 GHz) or 1.5 GHz G4 (up from 1.42 GHz) processor, with 512 MB of PC3200 RAM. The 80 GB drive is currently a Seagate Momentus 5400.2 ST9808211A, which runs at 5400 RPM with an 8 MB cache.
At this point Apple have not revised the official specifications on their web site. This may be to avoid issues with discounting or discontinuing of old stock."
--Wikipedia.org. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini

Do note that for some who bought a new Mac Mini recently might have had received an older stock, which is nothing wrong per se, but if you are hoping to get the refreshed ones, order at a shop with the latest models OR try to check the serial no. of the unit (located somewhere on the Mac Mini packaging box), go to apple.com/support/ and enter that no. in the About Your Support Coverage. Note if it says Mac Mini (late 2005), which if it is, then Bob's your uncle!

But to be absolutely sure, boot it up, and check the specs out at the About Mac. Then plonk your cash.

i suggest u do something like what begredbarr said. look at the serial # and then get on the internet at the store itself and check the apple website for the make.
