GOT MINE TODAY!!!! Came in a cute little box. I'd post pictures, but I'm too busy wishing I could open the box. My plan return to Best Buy or another retailer, pick up a Mac Mini with Airport Express/Bluetooth and Superdrive DVD Burner built in.

Congrats, Pod... hope you get to trade it in for the upgrades. The SuperDrive would be a cool upgrade, along with the bluetooth. WiFi for me would be ok, but would rather do the direct connect.

Superdrive = DVD+R/-R and CD-R burner combo. Otherwise, it comes with DVD reader+CD-R burner

Congrats Pod. Do you think that this will work? I went the Apple Store last weekend and asked about the Airport and Bluetooth upgrade and the rep looked at me like I had 2 heads. I also asked the folks at Bestbuy if they would be providing the instalation service and they had no idea. Can you buy one from Best Buy with the wireless and bluetooth stuff already installed?

Heh, Diggety I've had some major trouble with both. The Best Buy guy didn't have a clue about the upgrade I wanted, nor about how much it costed. He said he'd call me back. I need to return and buy a new Mini, so I figured I'd return mine for store credit then buy a new one and have Geek Squad fix it (in store). I'll tell you about my results.

Sounds like it might work....definetly let me know how it works out and how much the geek squad charges you for the instalation.

Yeah, my local "Computer SuperCenter" (not a chain) is the biggest ripoff ever since I live in one of the wealthiest communities in the country. I asked him about Bluetooth/Airport, and he said it was $209. Apple charges $100. All I can say heh.
