Nice additions to the Mini:

- two video outs for dual monitors
- FW800 (vs FW400 in the old one)
- NVIDIA 9400 graphics (finally half-decent on-board 3D)
- 4GB max RAM (much more reasonable)

Well, what do you mean by low-end, really?

NVIDIA has been continuing the rename game they (and ATI) have been
playing for a while.  The 9800 was a rename of the 8800 and the GTS150 is
going to be the rename of the 9800, while the GT120 is the 9500 renamed
and the GT130 is the 9600 renamed.

They're fine, not much to complain about for mid-range graphics. Need more
details? I can supply links.
