  • 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:  Den senaste versionen har blivit ett par centimeter bredare och djupare än föregångaren. I gengäld är den bara 3,6 centimeter hög. Invändigt har den lilla, i stort sett ljudlösa, datorn uppgraderats med en processor som är aningen snabbare än föregånga...

  • Abstract:  Det första intrycket vi får när vi öppnar förpackningen och tar upp den lilla burken är att det ser ut att ha skett en liten olycka. Någon måste ha tagit en gammal Mac Mini och kört en ångvält över den. Nya Minin har fått nytt format: den är kortare på...

  • Abstract:  17 June 2010 Förra årets lansering av Mac Mini Server blev inget mindre än en sensation. För mig var det utan tvekan årets lansering 2009 av Apple och betyget i mitt test blev därefter. Konceptet för årets modell är det samma. Tag ett stycke Mac Mini,...

  • Fantastisk design. HDMI-udgang. Musestille. Indgang til SD-kort.
  • Blu-ray-drev ville være rosinen i pølseenden. Kostbar.
  • Mini’en er ikke længere den billigste Mac. Men den bliver mere og mere oplagt som mediecenter. ...

  • Mały Mac mini podobnie jak jego mobilni bracia z serii MacBook Pro wyróżnia się aluminiową, monolityczną obudową Unibody, która nadaje mu specyficzny wygląd. Wszystkie złącza a nawet włącznik zasilania są umieszczone z tyłu obudowy co może być kłopotliwe...

  • Jednym słowem Apple Mac mini doskonale sprawdzi się w roli nettopa i jest z nim w zasadzie tylko jeden problem, a mianowicie wysoka cena. Teoretycznie komputer może wystąpić w roli domowego PC czy HTPC (wyjście HDMI i optyczne wyjście audio), ale probl...
