Rumors have it that the Mac Mini and iBook are next up for conversion to Intel.

My wish list for the Mac Mini is:

• Convert from a single traditional memory slot, to dual laptop memory slots
• Make accessing the hard drive easier. Ideally a slot loading hard drive
• Use the magnetic power adapter, added to the Macbook Pro
• Reduce the size of the power brick

I want to be able to swap hard drives in the event of failure, avoid the flimsy power adapters, and squeeze at least 2 GB of ram into the sucker.

Why?

These are perfect hosting “nodes”.

I have 3 Minis in a data center and they rocks for specific applications.
