new mac mini is out.

I wonder for almost a year what will be mini mac look a like ?, and this march 2009, its out, and much of the new features are what I expect, but only one thing that is not there, its expresscard expansion.
Many dont see what is the expresscard expansion really give a benefit, but per computer architecture design, having expresscard expansion is a plus plus compare to just bunch of USB port, because USB is just a Universal Serial Bus, compare to expresscard, which is true expansion slot/bus to give more powerfull feature on the computer.

but anyway, its good to see this new mini mac now already include RW drive as default, no upgrade needed, and the best of all, now it support dual display, which is a BIG plus.
