They might not entertain it because we bought the machine on 13 July which is more than a wee ago. But I'm pretty miffed to be honest. I just tried to upgrade the software to Lion Server using Apple's up to date programme. When I entered the serial number the web applet at Apple kept telling me that it wasn't a valid serial and system But it was. When I hit the "Continue" button, it gave me a link to the App store and said enter the redemption code. But guess what, there's no darn code! I really wish Apple would get their act together sometimes.

These new Core i5 and i7 CPUs are a full 2 generations beyond the Core 2 Duo and benchmarks show them slaughtering the older Duos. The i5 in the server Mac Mini is quad core whereas the i5 and i7 options in the non-server Minis have 2 physical and 2 hyperthreaded cores. But either way when compared to the Duo you are getting a much better architecture, more cores, larger cache and better memory bandwidth. I've been holding fire on a Mac purchase until these new updates hit and if you can RMA or otherwise get the newer Mini model then I suspect you'd absolutely see the benefit -- especially in a 24/7 server box.
