Upcoming Mac mini To Sport HDMI?
Posted on March 1, 2010 8:43 AM
While there isn’t any official announcement just yet, word is going around that the latest prototypes of a new Mac mini show that it will sport a HDMI port instead of the legacy DVI connector. To further add credibility to this bit of news, a picture supposedly showing the Mac mini with a HDMI port has surfaced, though there isn’t any way to confirm the authenticity of such a picture, especially when you take into account the Photoshop wizardry that folks can perform nowadays. Have you been looking forward to a HDMI port on your Macs, or are you perfectly happy with your current analog and DVI connectors?

It looks like Apple’s constant effort towards greener computing is paying dividends as sust-it, the website which provides rankings of energy usage and annual energy cost for thousands of devices, has announced that Apple’s Mac mini bags the top 4 spots for most efficient desktop computer in the latest listing. Said Mac only consumes .94W when turned off, 1.71W in sleep mode and 12.6W when turned on and left in idle mode. While not everybody will care too much about green computing, it’s still good to see Apple focusing on it.

Apple Mac Mini gets a boost
Posted on October 20, 2009 9:24 AM
Let's face it - the Mac Mini never really did very well in the marketplace despite it being a relatively fine machine to have in any living room. Well, this time round Apple will be offering a Mac mini that comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz processor fitted with 2GB RAM and a 160GB hard drive for $599 a pop. Those who want something more will have to fork out a couple more Benjamins, where that will result in a bumped up Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz processor, 4GB RAM and a 320GB hard drive. Shared specifications include the GeForce 9400M GPU and 8x SuperDrive.
Apple Store is down. New Mac Mini and iMac coming? (Update: no)
Posted on October 16, 2009 12:40 PM
The Apple store is closed, which *usually* means that there's a new product update. Of course, it could just be a technical upgrade, but that would most likely happen at night or something. Anyway, it is much more exciting to think that new iMacs or Mac minis are going to appear. Stay tuned.
Update: the store is back and we don't see anything new... false alert.
Thinner iMac And Lighter MacBook Ads
Posted on October 4, 2009 5:32 AM
We’ve previously covered some details on the upcoming iMacs, MacBooks and Mac mini. Now it seems that searches on the Dutch and Italian version of Google comes up with ads for a “brand new”, “ultra thin” iMac, which is available in 20 and 24-inch models; a “thinner, lighter and stronger” MacBook; a “faster and more affordable” Mac mini. It certainly seems that an official announcement should be just around the corner, and we certainly hope that it will live up to what these ads are advertising at the moment. Stay tuned!
Mac Mini purchase came with Snow Leopard disc
Posted on August 23, 2009 8:45 PM
An anonymous Mac mini owner in Japan recently claimed, with images to boot, to have in hand an install DVD of Snow Leopard. This piece of news has heightened the awareness of rumors that Snow Leopard will be released by Apple later this week, ahead of its September roll out date. Several other whispers have also pointed out to an August 28th launch, so we'll just keep our fingers crossed as to the final, actual release date. What you see here is the purported disc's content. Well, we don't think a release that happens slightly earlier or later would really matter, right? After all, the world will still go on. Image courtesy of Engadget.
