Apple Quietly Upgrades Mac mini
by Chris Maxcer
Alongside Apple’s iMac updates, the company in Cupertino quietly beefed up its smallest desktop computer, the Mac mini.
The new $599 Mac mini feature a faster 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, a 160GB hard drive, five USB 2.0 ports, FireWire 800, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics and a SuperDrive.
The $799 Mac mini features a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of memory, and a larger 320GB hard drive.
Both models can be upgraded with a 500GB hard drive and with faster processors — up to 2.53 GHz on the low-end mini and up to 2.66 GHz on the high-end mini.
In addition, Apple is now offering a $999 Mac mini configured with Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server. Apple’s Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server features two 500GB hard drives for a total of 1TB of server storage — which is stuff into the tiny 6.5-inch square by 2-inch tall Mac mini enclosure.
Nice.
What about green? Apple says the Mac mini is the world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer, using less than 14 watts of power when idle.
