Mac mini distills everything wonderful about Mac into an elegant, compact machine 6.5 inches square and 2 inches tall. Enjoy quality hardware components, built-in amenities not found elsewhere in its class, and a computer you don’t mind keeping anywhere in the house. One that frees up volumes of desk space.

One giant leap for Mac mini

The Intel Core Duo is actually two processors built into a single chip, giving this model Mac mini up to four times the horsepower it had previously. More than an evolution of processor design, Intel Core Duo is an order-of-magnitude leap forward. It’s the first power-efficient Intel chip born of the new 65-nanometer process, which allows for the creation of transistors so small, you could fit a hundred inside a single human cell. With two powerful processors designed to share resources and circuitry so unimaginably small, Intel Core Duo achieves far higher levels of performance while actually consuming less power. In fact, the new Mac mini is even quieter than the already whisper-quiet previous generation.

The most affordable way to iLife ’08 and Front Row

Every Mac mini includes iLife ’08, the latest version of Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications. With major upgrades to iPhoto, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand and a completely reinvented iMovie, iLife ’08 gives you amazing new ways to enjoy photos, create movies, make music, build websites, and more.

Let Mac mini and Front Row entertain you by playing songs, slideshows, and videos from other computers in the house. Buy new music in the kitchen, play it in your living room. Mac mini automatically finds networked computers under your roof — whether they be wireless or wired. Sounds like magic, but it’s just the Bonjour instant networking technology built into every Mac.

Software just works

In the world of Mac mini, nothing is complicated — even when the internal architecture advances so dramatically. So when it comes to running software on your Intel-based Mac mini, prepare for the expected: it just works. Applications with the Universal symbol run on either PowerPC- or Intel-based Mac mini computers. Most existing applications will run on your Intel-based Mac mini, too. Simply launch them as always. Thanks to the Rosetta technology in Mac OS X, they look and feel just like they did before.

Pint-sized perfection

Small enough to balance in one hand, its sleek anodized aluminum styling hints at the refined edges and rounded corners of its big brother, iMac. A pearly white cover picks up the tones of your home decor and makes Mac mini the ideal mate to put next to your iPod dock. Best of all, Mac mini purrs along at a whisper-quiet sound level, so there’s no reason to hide it under your desk like an old PC to save your ears.

It’s all there. In fact, it’s hard to believe that there’s any place left for the rest of the computer. But squeezed in under that optical drive and behind all those ports lie an Intel Core Duo processor, room for up to 2GB main memory, an Intel GMA950 integrated graphics chip with 64MB shared memory. And a large enough hard drive — up to 160GB — to store today’s digital media. There’s even space for AirPort Extreme wireless networking and internal Bluetooth.
