Mac Mini Computer, Apples Cheapest Desktop Computer


The Mac Mini computer is the cheapest desktop computer Apple offers to its customers. Depending on what type of use you have this can be the perfect computer for you.
If you didn't know, when you buy this computer you only get the computer itself. You will have to buy a keyboard, mouse and display of your own choosing. This keeps the price tag lower (compared to Apple standards that is), and in my opinion it is nice to be able to choose the keyboard and mouse I want to use myself.

Not anymore! The latest Mac Mini Update features Intel Sandy Bridge processors giving this little computer even more performance. The unit is practically noise-free too. You wont get a headache having this in your room, that's for sure. Also the computer is ridiculously small. Place it just about anywhere you want. It looks pretty darn nice too!For general home computing this will do very good. You can even play games on this one if you want because Apple finally upgraded the graphics. Of course, do not expect to be able to run the latest and greatest graphic intensive games. But some of them can be run. This is the perfect computer if you just do some casual stuff. Like surfing the web, reading e-mail, editing some photos / video, listening to music. Even watch movies if you want. It will do all that and a bit more. Connect it to the TV via the HDMI port on the back for example, I have done so with mine.
You also get the Mac Mini with several BTO configurations, like bigger hard drive, more memory and even a little faster CPU if you are willing to pay for that.
With Mac OS X Lion it is even better. Lion is improved and optimized and will be able to take better advantage of the processor in this computer.
he Mac Mini computer can also be used as an Mac Mini HTPC. It is not so hard to understand why, the computer is small so it is easy to place in your home. It makes practically no sound at all. We Mac OS X users also have the perfect free HTPC software to make all this work together. In 2010 Apple added HDMI ports to this computer, this makes it easier to connect the Mac Mini to your TV.
The power supply is built-in now, you only need a small power cable. No need for a big power brick laying on the floor anymore. Apple have removed the DVD drive, a good move if you ask me. How often do you use that drive anyway? Only with OS install and that can be done using a USB stick.
