The Apple Store is down. That generally means two things:
1. There will be new products/updated products (iMac, Mac mini, Time Capsule, Airport Express seem to be leading rumor candidates)
2. The older versions of the products getting an update will often enjoy great discounts in the refurbished area of Apple’s online store.
I’m guessing this is why 1 TB Time Capsule is marked down to $388 via Amazon as we reported on February 28.

I hope they have new iMac and Mini with easy to remove hard drives.

The store seems back up (at least the .edu store for Rush is up…) the new Mini did NOT get the body upgrade we thought it would. It just seems to have gotten a standardized processor (both models now at 2.0gHz and NVIDIA graphics). The only difference between the two seems to be hard drive size and shared graphics memory. Hardly worth the extra money, IMHO.

Apple's trend is not toward easy to remove anything…

the new MB and MBP are easier to get into than the older models. However, I am still having the Apple Store swap the drives between my MBP and my MB (the MBP has a 320GB 4500RPM drive) this wkend. I ain't doin' it. I'm not gonna screw it up. If Apple does it, then they are liable and not me.
