New Intel Mac Mini’s are ‘fun’
Published February 28th, 2006 in Apple, Noteworthy, PC, Technology
Part of the fun new products that Apple announced, the released a new Intel Mac Mini. So what are the differences apart from it featuring either a Core Solo (lower end model) or a Core Duo (higher end model) processor. Well there are an extra 2 USB ports, the modem is completely gone. The ethernet jack is now a gigabit connection, the headphone jack supports optical out and there is a line in (with optical in) jack. As far as I can see, Apple have changed the things people were complaining about to make the Mac Mini a better machine. It also comes with an Apple media remote and Front Row so you can have that Mac Mini home entertainment unit. It is 4x faster, according to Apple’s calculations. The box (packaging) has also been cleaned up with a touch of lightness.
