Again, the downside is the price: the base configuration is now $799 for an i3, up from $499 for an i5. The new Mac mini looks great: lots of cores, RAM, ports (including 2x USB-A).

Apple could make something worth buying for half that price, and customers and developers would be well served by its existence. It’s not that the new MacBook Air is a bad buy, but that Apple is completely ignoring a huge part of the market. And that doesn’t include the dongles you’ll have to buy to connect the same peripherals. The bad: the unreliable keyboard, only two ports (only one when charging), no USB-A, the larger trackpad that’s more susceptible to accidental input, and the $1,199 base price (up from $999, or $899 for the 11-inch).

IBM is hoping it too to can come full circle: recapture Gerstner’s magic, which depended not only on his insight about services, but also a secular shift in enterprise computing. Yesterday Young’s story came full circle when IBM bought Red Hat for $34 billion, a 60% premium over Red Hat’s Friday closing price.
