  • Abstract:  Vid en första anblick kunde det lika gärna vara en första generationens Mac Mini som står framför oss. Ingenting ser ut att ha förändrats, det är fortfarande samma lilla kompakta aluminiumlåda. Först när vi tar en närmare titt på baksidan ser vi att d...

  • Pebret pris, kabelrod, lidt for blodfattig.

  • Abstract:  Lidt forsinket har vi haft lejlighed til at kigge lidt på den seneste version af Apples absolut billigste computer. Mac mini har aldrig været den store nyhedsskaber, men denne gang bringer opdateringen af især GPU’en, væsentlige fornyelser med sig.
