It's very mild once you get used to it but when I leave my office and return a few minutes later, the odor bothers me. What a piss off. Apple should test their products in a home environment because I'm pretty sure you can't smell anything in a monster production facility with very good venting. I always return electronics that put off strong odor and now I don't know if I should return this mini and keep my old one or hope that the odor will go away. :( My 2009 mini model that I just got blows air that smells like wet moldy towels.

I have a friend that has leukemia, and she has a mac. Case closed. Although... I'm not sure if it's a mac pro built before 2008. There must be a whole variety of Apple products that cause it! TOTAL RECALL!! Well I can put this issue to bed right now. I have a friend that has leukemia, and she has a mac. Case closed.

Do you think that they will say, "Yes, we knew about this."? There is a bunch of stuff that makes people get some kind of disease. What is the point about asking companies about this stuff?
