  • Quality design and finish
  • Runs very quietly
  • Sufficient performance for office doc type work
  • Low energy consumption
  • 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

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
  • Price
  • 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...

  • 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...

  • HDMIAusgang, SDSlot, halbwegs ordentliche Grafikleistung,
  • begrenzte UpgradeMöglichkeiten, teuer,
  • 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...
