The peerless Mac experience is what the Mac Mini is all about. OS X Snow Leopard is stunning and now comes with the killer Mac App Store for downloading add-ons without having to trawl the web. Firewire and four USB ports mean that connectivity is more than ample
While the 19.7.x19.7x3.6cm means you can hide this machine away easily
Saving stacks of space compared to some less than clever PC ri

The editors didn't like
We wish it was cheaper. It could use better media centre software too
And will Apple ever climb on the Blu-ray wagon?
SD-card slot inconveniently located
Higher price than previous entry-level model
Slow stock hard drive .
Only one standard configuration
Expensive
A little underpowered
Dated media centre software
No Blu-ray option
So can a lot of much cheaper rivals
Price bump not quite worth the benefits
Only 2GB memory
No monitor
Mouse or keyboard
Only one power supply
Only one ethernet port
No optical drive
Replacing drives somewhat tedious.
Connectors inaccessible
Comes with neither mouse nor keyboard
We would have preferred a Core i processor
Still no BluRay player on Macs
Expensive (not taken into account in our rating)
As ever with Apple
It’s the pricing that really sticks in the craw. At £612 for the “cheap” version
It’s hard to justify. There are small-scale PCs that offer similar specs at a much lower price. You really have to want to buy into Apple’s ecosystem too
Because this is a gadget that is much about kudos as it is about the tech inside.
No DVD reader
Dodgy disc loader
Ports are a tad impractical
Pricey. Old CPU. No Blu-ray
Puny storage capacity for the price
No Bluray option
Limited user upgrade options
Pricey

SD card slot on the back
Limited upgrade options
USB port can't be used for backup
No eSATA expansion
More complex tasks can't be accomplished using base management utilities
Abstract: Apple hat beim neuen Mac mini einige dringende Wünsche der Anwender umgesetzt. PC WELT untersucht, ob die Änderungen unter der Haube den höheren Preis rechtfertigen. Schon das Vorgängermodell des Apple Mac mini war ein Blickfang. Das Design des neuen...
Mit der hohen Spielegeschwindigkeit eignet sich der Mac mini vor allem für diejenigen, die neben der Arbeit mit Büroprogrammen Spaß an aktuellen Computerspielen haben. Leider sind weder eine Tastatur noch eine Maus im Lieferumfang enthalten.Alternative: D...
Tolle Optik, Super verarbeitet, Ausreichend Anschlüsse, Flotte Hardware
Kein Blu-ray-Drive, Sehr teuer
Der Mac mini ist filigran, gut ausgestattet, hervorragend verarbeitet und auch noch winzig klein. Selbst der ebenfalls schon kleine Asrock Ion 330HT-BD sieht dagegen wie ein hässlicher Ziegelstein aus. Kurz: Der Mac mini ist das, was man sich für's Wohnzi...
Der neue Apple Mac Mini ist zwar deutlich teurer als sein Vorgänger, dafür sieht er aber auch schicker aus und bietet mehr Leistung denn je. Wer nach einem kleinen Allround-Rechner fürs Wohnzimmer sucht und das nötige Kleingeld mitbringt, ist hier gen...
Abstract: Ein Computer ist eine stattliche, hässliche Kiste – wer das für ein Naturgesetz hielt, reibt sich angesichts der schicken Mini-PCs verwundert die Augen: So einen Rechenzwerg kann man nicht nur auf den Schreibtisch, sondern auch ins Wohnzimmer stellen. ...
Abstract: Era il mese di gennaio dell'anno 2005, in occasione del MacWorld Expo di San Francisco, quando Apple lanciò il primo Mac mini: un sistema desktop contenuto nelle dimensioni e nel prezzo (allora erano 499 Euro), con lo scopo di andare a rosicchiare qual...
Poche considerazioni: Mac Mini aveva bisogno di un aggiornamento ed è arrivato. La dotazione di interfacce è stata riallineata a quelle che sono le esigenze di base di un utente, e di un utente Mac (per la firewire 800). Mac mini con il suo guscio unib...
Compacto, muito compacto e bonito, Boas melhorias em relação ao modelo anterior, Ótimo custo benefício para profissionais
Não possui entrada para microfone, Difícil acesso a HD e leitor de DVD, Placa de vídeo integrada
Pelas suas conexões, já dá pra ver que o Mac mini é simples, mas atende a um público bem variado. Vai desde o usuário de PC que quer migrar para o Mac sem gastar muito, passando pelo Applemaníaco com problemas financeiros até os interessados em editar víd...

Mac mini - это очень хороший компьютер с очень плохим соотношением производительность/цена. На мой взгляд, по этой причине он плохо подходит на роль основного компьютера. Скорее всего, Mac mini будет хорош в качестве бесшумного второго компьютера для спал...
Новый Mac mini видится чрезвычайно логичным и правильным продолжением предыдущей версии: более тонкий, более компактный, совершенно бесшумный, с ОС Snow Leopard, с возможностью замены модулей оперативной памяти. И более мощный, что определяет более широки...
