  • Thunderbolt peripherals are scarce
  • No optical complicates some installs
  • No optical driveToo priceySluggish hard drive
  • Some users will find the lack of an optical drive too forward-looking
  • And may struggle to understand the benefits of the Thunderbolt port. The new Mac Mini also offers suspect value compared with Windows PCs in the same price range
  • No more optical drive
  • Improved AMD graphics only offered in higher-end models
  • No bundled Magic Trackpad means extra cost for some of OS X Lion's best features

  • Der neue Mac mini hinterlässt gemischte Gefühle bei uns. Zum einen ist es Apple gelungen die CPU- und GPU-Performance aufzuwerten. Doch irgendwie fühlt sich das Gesamtsystem wie ein Rückschritt an - oder zumindest tritt man auf immer derselben Stelle. ...

  • attraktives Design, deutlich schneller als der Vorgänger,
  • sehr teuer, kein optisches Laufwerk, Tastatur und Maus nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten,
  • Der Mac Mini überzeugt in seiner neuesten Auflage mit seiner kompakten Bauform und der schicken Optik. Intels Sandy-Bridge-CPU und die diskrete AMD-Radeon-Grafik sorgen im Vergleich zum Vorgänger für eine deutliche Mehrleistung. Thunderbolt kann seine...

  • Mooi vormgegegeven, zowel extern als intern, Snel en stil, Valt in de huiskamer nauwelijks op, dus niet storend aanwezig, Net zo klein als een mediaspeler, maar met alle mogelijkheden van een desktop computer
  • Geen optische drive ingebouwd (maar dat is iets persoonlijks), Geen installatie dvd voor OSX Lion bijgeleverd (algemeen bekend), Onderklep laat zich nogal stroef verwijderen

  • Snel, Geheugen eenvoudig uit te breiden, Compact
  • Bij eventuele herinstallatie internetverbinding noodzakelijk, Geen SuperDrive meer
  • De nieuwe Mac mini is wezenlijk sneller dan z'n voorgangers. Het instapmodel van 599 euro lijkt ons de meest interessante keuze, als u tenminste het werkgeheugen verhoogt naar 4 of 8 GB (in 2011 slechts 2 GB intern geheugen kan écht niet meer). Gelukkig i...

  • De Mac mini is een kleine computer die gebaseerd is op de techniek van een notebook. Daardoor is de Mac mini zuinig, maar niet zo snel als een grote, moderne desktop. Net als alle andere Apple-producten is ook de Mac mini niet goedkoop. Alle aanslu...

  • De Apple Mac mini is geen goedkope desktop. De goedkoopste variant schaf je aan voor € 599, ons testmodel staat in de winkel voor € 799. Dat is veel geld en hoe je het ook bekijkt, als je voor een normale PC gaat kun je heel wat meer hardware voor dit ...

  • Abstract:  Не всегда можно объяснить мотивацию появления у нас конкретных устройств. В данном случае, предположим, мы хотим познакомиться с миром производителя Apple. И Mac Mini самый простой и доступный способ сделать это. Цена в 599 долларов, правда, в США (увы, 2...

  • Abstract:  Компьютеры Mac mini в свое время наделали много шума. Первое поколение сразу же принесло Apple звание самого маленького производительного компьютера в мире. А сам Mac mini стал самым доступным Mac'ом на рынке. Нельзя сказать, что успех был ошеломительным,...

  • Compacto e bonito, Compatível com vários periféricos, Sistema Mac OS, Desktop Apple mais barato.
  • Não é portátil, Excesso de fios, Hardware defasado.
  • Se você quer ser iniciado no mundo de Steve Jobs e no sistema Mac OS, o Mac Mini continua sendo um investimento mais seguro em relação ao iMac e ao MacBook Pro, especialmente com os altos impostos sobre os produtos da Apple aqui....
