Brilliance, squared. There's nothing like Mac mini. At just 6.5 inches square and 2 inches tall, it's designed to take up far less room - and use far less energy - than any other desktop computer.
Small. Simple. Beautiful.
Mac mini has a sleek, anodized aluminum case and clean, white surface. It’s small, elegant, and unassuming. In fact, it looks so simple it's hard to believe it’s a computer at all.
Packed with power.
Mac mini was engineered to fit a lot of computer into a little space. It’s powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with advanced NVIDIA graphics and fast DDR3 memory. There’s plenty of storage space - up to 500GB - for just about anything. And it comes with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the world’s most advanced operating system. Who knew something so small could be so huge?
Plug. And play.
Mac mini includes five USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 800 port, so you can connect your keyboard, mouse, iPod, iPhone, digital camera, DV camcorder, external hard drive, printer, and any other peripherals you use. Mac mini even lets you connect up to two displays, including your TV, with the mini-DVI port and Mini DisplayPort. On the front of Mac mini is the ultrafast, slot-loading SuperDrive for playing DVDs and CDs - or burning your own.
The many uses of Mac mini.
Because Mac mini is so small, it can be just about anything you want it to be. And be amazing at it, too. Officially, Mac mini is a desktop computer. But because it can go places no other desktop can go, it’s been used everywhere from boats to server rooms, as the heart of an entertainment center - and even to power robots.
The world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer.
What Mac mini doesn’t do could be its biggest feat. It doesn’t waste energy. When Mac mini is idle, it consumes less than 14 watts2 - no other desktop computer does that. Mac mini is made from highly recyclable aluminum. And the small package makes it efficient to ship.
Better, faster performance.
Memory and processors.
Mac mini is anything but mini under its hood. With either 2GB or 4GB of memory, Mac mini gives you twice as much memory as the previous generation. So now you can run more applications at the same time. You also get a 2.26GHz or a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a blazing-fast 1066MHz frontside bus, and 3MB of L2 cache.
Graphics.
The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor in every Mac mini gives you outstanding graphics performance. It brings pure power to the latest 3D games and graphics-intensive applications. And you’ll notice a big difference when you work with high-resolution photos and high-definition video.
Wireless.
The latest 802.11n wireless technology is built into every Mac mini. Once you set up a Wi-Fi network, you can surf the web, print, and stream your music wirelessly. Bluetooth capabilities are also built in, so you can connect Bluetooth accessories such as a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Plenty of storage.
Choose your hard drive.
Now you can get a 160GB, 320GB, or optional 500GB hard drive and pack in your photos, movies, music, and more, more, more.
Room to burn.
You can play and burn all the DVDs and CDs you want with the ultrafast, slot-loading SuperDrive. So load up on photos, movies, and music, and burn them to DVDs whenever you want.
Special server configuration.
When you order Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server, you get two 500GB hard drives for 1TB of storage. Whether you want to bring your email in house, host wikis and websites, or record and host podcasts, that’s plenty of storage to make it all happen.
B.Y.O. accessories.
Display, keyboard, and mouse.
If you already have it, you can use it with Mac mini. Plug in your own display, keyboard, and mouse. Turn it on. And just like that, it’s your instant desktop. You can even share peripherals with another desktop computer.
Two displays are better than one.
Mac mini comes with both mini-DVI and Mini DisplayPort output ports, so you can connect two displays to do more with your photos, movies, and files. Choose the beautiful, widescreen Apple LED Cinema Display or displays available from many third parties.
Entertainment center.
Connect Mac mini to your TV to watch DVDs or movies and TV shows from iTunes. Hook Mac mini up to your speakers to play your music. You can even stream music to any set of speakers in the house by adding an AirPort Express Base Station.
