They should simply use the same features/specs as the laptops (excepting, of course the power-saving mode in the MBP graphics).

Low end Mini = MacBook
High end Mini = MacBook Pro

They really could also make it a tad larger and use real hard drives and get a lot more bang for the buck.

Apple needs to keep this. My mom has an older one, and she can’t afford a new iMac every few years, but she could afford a new Mini.

Plus I’d love one providing it’s put on WiFi 802.11n and a large hard drive to use as a home server of sorts. Oh yeah!

Sure, sure. An Apple MacMini with nVidia graphics chips and DisplayPort with no Firewire. Just what everyone wanted…..Not! Both the AppleTV and MacMini will continue to be hobbled by cost-cutting methods of Apple. Those two products could easily be combined into one really useful device, but I’m certain that won’t happen. Probably one of the biggest drawbacks is their smallish size. Probably too difficult to make them powerful, quiet and cool and the same time.
