Apple Introduces Mac Mini
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "HARDWARE" @ 12:28 PM
"Introducing the Mac mini. Everything you need — and not an ounce more — to enjoy digital photos, music and movies. Get a fast G4 processor, slot-loading CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and a reliable operating system in a body just 6.5-inches square and 2-inches tall. Simply add monitor, keyboard and mouse. You’ll be organizing music and photos, composing tunes and editing movies with iLife ’05 in no time. Surf the Internet with the peace of mind of the secure and stable UNIX-based Mac OS X operating system. And since Mac mini can do wireless, you don’t even have to put it near a phone jack. Configure your Mac mini with an AirPort Extreme Card, hook up an AirPort Express to your DSL connection or cable modem, and start surfing and printing wirelessly. Using AirPort Express and AirTunes, you can even listen to tunes from your Mac mini on speakers in a different room. Starting at just $499."
And boy is this thing tiny or what! 8O Earlier rumors appear to have hit the nail on the head in terms of specs and features. Best of all the price is a mere $499 for an entry level seat. This little box is going to make big waves in the PC market, and will probably spark a resurgence in Mac sales. You can expect to see long lines of Windows users standing outside Apple stores to get one. You may even bump into Jason Dunn. :P
