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

Abstract: Apple är ofta tidigt ute med att rationalisera bort onödigheter i datorvärlden. Mac-datorn hörde till de allra första som slängde ut diskettstationen och många gamla förlegade portar har försvunnit i ett tidigt skede på olika Apple-datorer. Filosofin v...
Veldig stilrent og pent utseende, Suveren konstruksjonskvalitet, Stillegående, Ytelse nok til de fleste formål, Plasseringsvennlig
Lite ytelse for pengene, Vanskelig å oppgradere selv, Ingen USB 3.0 kontakter
Apple Mac mini er en liten stasjonær datamaskin som er rettet mot de som trenger nettopp dét. For en pris som begynner på 4 790 kroner får du en maskin som yter godt nok til de fleste kontorprogrammer. Legger du i noen tusenlapper til er også noen lit...
Abstract: Nowy Mac mini wygląda podobnie jak poprzednik poza jednym szczegółem – brakiem szczeliny dla napędu optycznego na froncie obudowy, za to pojawiło się nowoczesne i bardzo szybkie złącze Thunderbolt. Wciąż zachwyca kultową już monolityczną obudową Unibody w...
講了這麼多，主站認為雖然蘋果鮮少有一代不如一代的例子，但在 Mac mini 上確實是 2010 年版的 mini 勝過剛發表的新版。不能否認地，2011 年版的效能更強，價格也向下壓了 $100 美元，但在價格上它和其他的 mini 一樣處在一個略微尷尬的位置 -- 螢幕、滑鼠和鍵盤都還要再另購，就算不求最好的，東加加西加加，NT$25,000 （HK$6,700）上下應該也是跑不掉的。但這在 PC 界已經是稍微偏貴的價格了，何況 mini 的規格也就是普普，也沒有光碟機，更沒有 USB 3....
