Details

Amazing from every angle.
With its ultra-thin aluminium design, a removable bottom panel for easy access to memory, space-saving built-in power supply and Thunderbolt, HDMI, Firewire and USB connections the new Mac mini is pretty incredible. Add Apple's new 'Lion' (OS X 10.7) operating system and iLife '11 suite into the mix and no matter how you look at it the Apple Mac Mini is a nothing short of amazing.

Forged ahead. Way ahead.
The Apple Mac mini features a 3.6cm-thin seamless unibody enclosure carved from a single, solid block of aluminium. It’s created using computer numerical control, or CNC, machines - the same kind used by the aerospace industry to build mission-critical spacecraft components. This ensures absolute precision of every component of the Mac mini enclosure. Not to mention a stunning aluminium fit and finish that will make any desk proud.

No detail is too mini.
The power supply is built directly into Mac mini. So there’s no bulky brick, and there are fewer cables to connect. A removable panel on the bottom makes upgrading the memory completely painless. And once you’re inside, you’ll see how clean and organised Mac mini is. With attention paid to the tiniest details. Like the air intake vent. It’s practically invisible. And when the fan is running, you’ll barely hear it. Mac mini is full of big ideas.

Many ports. Major possibilities.
Built-in Thunderbolt technology lets you daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt peripherals, including the new Apple Thunderbolt Display, to a single port. It also supports Mini DisplayPort peripherals you might already have, including the Apple LED Cinema Display. The HDMI port lets you connect Mac mini to your HDTV with a single cable. And a built-in SDXC card slot makes speedy work of transferring photos and videos from your digital cameras.

Exactly what you need. And nothing you don’t.
Mac mini is designed without an optical disc drive. Because these days, you don’t need one. It’s easier than ever to download music and films from the iTunes Store. And you can download apps from the Mac App Store with a click. So what did Apple do with all the extra space? They squeezed in more powerful processors, advanced graphics and Thunderbolt technology. And removing the optical drive gave us room to do one more thing with Mac mini: lower its price. If you still want to burn discs, consider the external MacBook Air SuperDrive, which connects to Mac mini with a USB cable.

Hardware and software made for each other.
Since the software on every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac, you get a fully integrated system in which everything works together perfectly. OS X 10.7 'Lion' works with the processor in your Mac to deliver the best possible performance and the best user-experience of any computer.

The world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer.
What Mac mini doesn’t do could be its biggest feat. It doesn’t waste energy. When Mac mini is idle, it consumes less than 10 watts - a 25 per cent reduction from the previous generation.* No other desktop computer does that. Mac mini is made from highly recyclable aluminium. And its redesigned, lighter package makes it more efficient to ship.
