  • Elegant, space saving design, Easy accessibility of RAM modules, HDMI port, Very portable
  • No optical drive slot, unlike its predecessor, No USB 3.0
  • The latest Mac mini comes at around the same price range as its 2010 predecessor. While featuring the same design, the 2011 Mac mini does get a hardware upgrade that gives it a performance boost over its forerunner model - but at the same time, it ine...

  • Abstract:  So farewell optical media (1982-2011). What joy you brought us, with your CDs and high definition videos. How you lit up students' lives when they threw you in the microwave to see what would happen.Apple is reprising its role as Auger of Doom for a dying...

  • Boasts Apple's usual design leadership; nearly double the performance compared with the older model.
  • Lack of an optical drive too forward-looking; users may struggle to understand the benefits of the Thunderbolt port; offers suspect value compared with Windows PCs in same price range.
  • Apple's new S$1,088 Mac mini demands that you abandon disc-based media, and that you surround it with potentially expensive extra hardware to realize its full benefits. It makes most sense for committed Mac users, those who need it for a specific nich...

  • Tiene puertos de última generación, un puerto HDMI para que conectes monitores de alta definición y un puerto Thunderbolt exclusivo de Apple
  • Si no tienes alguna pantalla, ratón y teclado de sobra esta computadora resulta algo cara ya que además tendrás que comprar dichos periféricos
  • Ideal si quieres una computadora pequeña con un buen rendimiento para armar. Tú escoges la pantalla, el teclado y el ratón....

  • Su diseño es muy atractivo y pequeño.Tiene conectividad para equipos con HDMI, DVI y Thunderbolt. Cuenta con bocinas, conexión a WiFi y Bluetooth
  • Su precio puede ser algo elevado para algunos ya que, además, hay que comprar un monitor, teclado y ratón para usar esta Mac Mini. No cuenta con una unidad de disco óptico
  • Ideal para quienes quieren una computadora al gusto; ¿quieres elegir tu propio monitor? Se puede. ¿quieres otro ratón que no sea Apple? También es compatible. Es lo atractivo de esta Mac Mini, la versatilidad con la que lo puedes usar....

  • Diseño impecable y prestaciones equilibradas, Transformador integrado en el chasis, Nivel de ruido anecdótico
  • Su procesador ofrece un buen rendimiento, pero hace tiempo que su sucesor llegó al mercado, 2 Gbytes más de RAM serían bienvenidos

  • El nuevo Mac Mini se convierte por primera vez en un equipo que por su relación calidad-precio puede estar al alcance de un gran número de personas. En caso de que ya tengamos los periféricos adecuados puede convertirse en un estupendo equipo de sobremes...

  • Dans cette configuration sur mesure, le Mac mini offre des performances de premier ordre, mais le tarif est très élevé surtout comparé à un iMac d'entrée de gamme équipé d'un vrai processeur Quad Core et d'une carte graphique plus puissante sans parle...

  • Puissance du processeur, Design et finition de qualité, Silence en fonctionnement, Gain en puissance des composants depuis la précédente génération, Entrée/sortie audio de qualité
  • Fourni sans clavier ni souris, Connectique peu accessible, Pas de lecteur DVD et encore moins de Blu-ray, Attention à la chauffe des composants
  • C'est sans conteste l'un des plus puissants mini-ordinateurs qui existent. En revanche, en l'absence d'un moyen de lire ne serait-ce qu'un DVD sans passer par un lecteur externe, difficile de classer le Mac Mini 2011 dans la catégorie des ordinateurs H...

  • Design élégant, Core i5 en standard, Sortie HDMI, Carte graphique dédiée
  • Plus de lecteur optique, Disque dur trop lent, Toujours cher pour ce que c'est...
  • Le Mac Mini continue, année après année, à nous laisser perplexe. Sur cette nouvelle version, on peut au moins saluer l'effort consenti sur les performances: en passant à l'architecture Sandy Bridge, il se met à la page du reste de la gamme Apple et devi...
