Mac Mini Unboxing

This computer is tiny, because it’s a Mac Mini. It can run either Windows full-on, or Mac OS X. This is the latest revision of the series, and I’m glad there’s finally an updated one! I’ve been using my old Mac Mini to run the live stream with. Obviously, it worked ok since the stream was going out 24 hours a day.
The processor is a few GHz faster. There’s a big difference in going from 1GB or RAM to 4GB, though. I’m also gaining a much better video card with this new one. It has a 320GB hard drive, at 5400RPM. 5400 is more than enough – do you know why? That’s right – it won’t put out as much heat.

Mac mini is the world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer. When it’s idle, Mac Mini uses less than 13 watts — that’s 45 percent less energy than ever before. Also, the brilliant thing about Mac mini. You can use the display, keyboard, and mouse you already own. Plug them in. Turn it on. And there you have it: your instant desktop.
There’s nothing as cool as seeing your pictures on a huge display. Unless, of course, you add another! Mac Mini comes with both mini-DVI and Mini DisplayPort outport ports, so you can connect up to two monitors!
It pretty much looks like the Mac Mini I’ve been using for awhile, but with some nice upgrades on the inside. I’m going to keep the old one, and incorporate it with this one in some way, in order to bring more power to the stream. More power is always a good thing, right?

It’s a brilliant thing! I don’t have the new one, but i’m thinking of getting it. It looks SO great.
I currently have the 1.83Ghz C2D + 1GB RAM + DVI version. I use it with my tv.
No problems, it has been running brilliantly since i bought 1 year, 9 months ago.

Chris states that it’s too bad there isn’t a Toslink port for digital audio. The speaker port is a combo Toslink and 1/8″ audio port, for both digital and analog audio output.
woot!

Nice. I ordered a Mac mini and when the freight company phoned to say it was in, I sent my wife to pick it up.
“I’m here for a computer,” she told the agent.
“I don’t think we have a computer for you,” he said, handing her the tiny box.
“Yep, that’s it,” my wife said.
The agent looked at her as if she’d lost her marbles!
