Well, it's a very small indent in the Macbook. Which one is it? When did it

Hi,
That is very correct. You will especially notice this if you take apart a

That is incorrect. Apple products use better components than most your

Hm interesting ideas.
As far aw the idea for the redesign for the mac mini I've never seen one but
maybe a bit more power and a slightly bigger hard drive if that would not harm
anything. also would it make more sense to have the cd drive on the top front
of the unit so that you could have more

Hi,
If it is not an aluminum Macbook, I don't think it has it. However, if it does,
go straight downwards from the 1/8 inch jack plugs almost all the way to the
bottom, and check for a small, circular indent. It's not that noticeable if you
don't feel around carefully for it.
