The standard hard disk is also under-specced with only 40GB capacity, which could mean you’ve got the bizarre situation of your iPod photo being fed content by a computer with a smaller hard disk.

While it’s likely a PC of around the same price might be slightly quicker, it won’t look anywhere near as cool as the Mac mini.

But talking about raw performance is missing the issue. Comparison to a PC’s performance is difficult due to the lack of meaningful cross platform benchmarks. The mini opened Photoshop in seven seconds, compared to 12 on my iBook.

That said the base spec mini still outperformed my own 800Mhz iBook G4 equipped with 640MB of RAM.

There’s only one internal slot, so any later upgrade would involve throwing away the supplied DIMM and as the mini is not designed to be opened by the user, it’s best to do it straight away.

Unfortunately to reach the tempting price point, Apple has made some harsh compromises – the base spec of 256MB of RAM is not enough to really enjoy Mac OS X, especially once users start to delve into what the bundled iLife05 suite of applications can offer. A G5 would have been nice but it’s still too hot to run in such a small system. It’s powered by a G4 processor running at either 1.25 or 1.4GHz. Spec wise, the Mini contains most of the tech found in Apple’s current iBook line. However, as ever with Apple products, there are already a wave of accessories available for it, such as this protective case, enabling you to mount it sideways and protect it from damage at the same time. The white finish of the mini is iPod-like and while it looks great it keeps the scratchabilty factor dangerously high. Even the cabling boasts typically classy Apple build quality with the connectors at each end slotting snugly into their slots, like expensive designer Lego for adults. It’s fairly inevitable that the power supply is external, with the block being about one third the size of the mini itself. Unboxing the mini is as pleasurable as with any Mac product, with its neat and tidy packaging that amusingly has the words ‘actual size’ next to the product photo. I want one!” He shall, of course, remain nameless. When it was pointed out that the mini was powered by ATI graphics he declared, “I don’t care.

This included a visitor we had in that day who happened to work for nVidia. Everyone wanted to look at it, pick it up and take it home. Of course we’ve seen really small PCs before but compared to the mini these look very, well, depressingly PC like.Īnother demonstration of the desirability of the product was when I brought the review sample into the office for the first time. When Jobs actually brought it out and held it the palm of his hand at Macworld, the whoops of delight and surprise were as genuine as they were sycophantic. It weighs 1.4Kg, no more than a typical sub-notebook. It’s breath takingly small, packing an entire computer into a box not much bigger than a desktop PCs internal DVD-ROM drive. However, when you actually see the Mac mini it’s not the price you get excited about, but the size. Previously though, Apple’s high pricing was something of a cold shower for the potential switcher, but when the response to the question, “so how much does it cost?” is a mere £339, Switcher Man is, perhaps for the first time, seriously tempted.

This is the Windows user who’s already been turned on to the way Apple does things by the iPod, and is now intrigued by what else it can offer. The Mac mini is the Apple computer aimed at ‘Switcher Man’. The Mac mini is a master stroke by Apple – it’s essentially a headless iMac, supplied without a monitor, keyboard or mouse, enabling users to get on the Mac ladder for less money than ever before, by reusing their existing peripherals. Now that may not be saying much, as he’s undoubtedly a rich man anyway, but it was certainly a good question and one that the company finally responded to at Macworld this year. In fact, according to Steve Jobs, if he’d received a nickel for every person that had asked him why Apple didn’t offer a stripped down Mac that was more affordable, he’d be a rich man. Until January 2005, ‘low cost’ and ‘Macintosh’ were words with less association than ‘Pop Idol’ and ‘talent’.
