Product Description

Introducing the New Mac mini
With its ultra-thin aluminium design, huge selection of ports to connect all your favourite peripherals (including your HDTV), increased graphical power and memory storage, what you do with your all-new Mac mini is up to you.
An Incredibly Compatible Computer
If you already have it, chances are you can use it with Mac mini. Plug in your own display, keyboard and mouse. Turn it on. And just like that, everything works together. You can even swap peripherals with another desktop computer. That’s one of the great things about Mac mini. You can mix and match it with just about anything.
Mac Mini Comes to the Big Screen
It’s easy to connect Mac mini to the biggest screen in the house--your HDTV--courtesy of a built-in HDMI port. Plug in one HDMI cable and start enjoying content on your Mac mini in brilliant HD. Like films and TV programmes from iTunes, the Internet and your photo library. There’s also a handy control that lets you easily adjust the output on Mac mini to fill even the biggest HDTV screen. And when you just want to listen to music, you can play your entire iTunes collection through your home entertainment centre, or stream it to a set of speakers in any room via an AirPort Express Base Station.
A Great Little Performer
Souped-up Graphics
Mac mini refuses to act its size. It gives you next-generation NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics--the fastest integrated graphics processor on the market today--and speedy DDR3 memory. With 48 processing cores and 256 MB of shared video memory, this graphics processor delivers up to twice the performance of the previous generation. It brings more pixel-pushing 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. The most surprising part? You don’t have to sacrifice efficiency for speed. The NVIDIA GeForce 320M is more energy efficient than its predecessor. All of which proves you really can do more with less.
More Memory, More Oomph
A little Mac mini goes a long way. With up to 8GB of memory, Mac mini supports twice the memory of the previous generation. So now you can run more applications at the same time. Mac mini is powered by a 2.4GHz or 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, with a superfast 1066MHz frontside bus and 3MB of L2 cache for a nice little performance boost. Which goes to show that size can be deceiving.
Instant Connection
The latest 802.11n wireless technology is built into every Mac mini. It automatically connects to your Wi-Fi network, so you can get right down to surfing the web, printing and streaming your music wirelessly. Bluetooth wireless technology is also built in, so you can connect accessories such as a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Easily organise your photos, movies and music using the included iLife software. View larger.The Things You Do Every Day--Better
The things you do most often on a computer, like browsing the web, checking email and working with Microsoft Office files, are some of the things a Mac does best.
Perfect for Everyday Everything
A Mac comes with everything you need for your email, calendar, contacts, browsing the Internet and more. It’s all part of the Mac operating system: Mac OS X Snow Leopard. And since Apple makes the applications, they all work together seamlessly.
Do Amazing Things with Photos, Movies and Music
Take home a Mac and right away you can start doing cool stuff with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. They’re part of iLife. And they’re included with every new Mac.
Storage and Memory--There's Room to Grow
Personal space
Now you can get a 320 GB or 500 GB hard drive and pack in your photo libraries, films, music, files and more, more, more. You can also play and burn all the DVDs and CDs you want with the fast, slot-loading SuperDrive.
DIY Memory
Thanks to a removable bottom panel, now it’s easy to open Mac mini and add memory. Just a slight twist of the panel and you’re inside Mac mini. Simply pop your memory into the SO-DIMM slot then twist the panel back on. And you’re done.
The Mac mini is the most energy-efficient Mac desktop ever produced. Environmentally Friendly Design
Apple approaches environmental responsibility through our products. That’s why a Mac is designed to be energy efficient, free of many toxins and highly recyclable.
Energy Efficiency
Because Apple designs both hardware and software, we can reduce our environmental footprint in ways others can't. For starters, a highly efficient power supply reduces the amount of power wasted when bringing electricity from the wall to your Mac. Unlike a lot of PCs, a Mac uses energy-efficient hardware components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power--even between keystrokes.
Fewer Toxic Substances
A Mac doesn't contain a lot of toxic materials. Mac mini is free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)4 and brominated flame retardants (BFRs)
Recyclability
When a Mac reaches the end of its long life, the materials it’s made from — like aluminium — make it highly desirable to recyclers.
Plenty of Ports Make it Ready for Anything
Mac mini makes things happen. It can connect to any digital display right out of the box. In addition to HDMI, Mac mini comes with both Mini DisplayPort output and an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, so it’s ready to connect to the Apple LED Cinema Display or a third-party display you already have. You can even connect two displays to see more of your photos, films and files. And there’s a built-in SD card slot, which makes it easy to grab photos and videos from your digital still or video camera. Mac mini gives you ports galore: four USB 2.0 ports and one FireWire 800 port, so you can plug in your keyboard, mouse, iPod, iPhone, iPad, digital camera, DV camcorder, external hard drive, printer and just about any other device you use.
