What is Apple's upcoming Brick? A cheap desktop PC (we think)

Posted on Sep 24, 08 02:34 PM PDT

The word on the street is that Apple's Brick has been designed to break Windows. This brainy deduction comes from macenstein. Anyhow, what we think is that it has to be an entry-level computer. There's no way that Apple can take a significant market share from Windows if they don't have a low-priced vehicle to drive market adoption.

Now, if we are talking about low-price, I suspect that this would be a desktop machine (a redesigned Mac-mini?), because Apple still needs a decent level of processing power to create a user experience added-value. Granted, it could also be a cheap laptop, but I don't think that Apple will play the Nettop game - at least not until they have a special (light) version of Mac OS X. Well may be they do, but right now, nothing indicates it. Apple did say that their margins would suffer from new products introduction... (photo source)
