Contrary to some reports of the Mac mini’s demise, Apple updated our little buddy with 1.83 GHz and 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo processors. The upgraded Mac mini includes up to 2GB of RAM, integrated GMA 950 graphics, gigabit ethernet, 802.11g wireless and bluetooth 2.0. You can also upgrade to a 160GB hard drive for all your music and video needs.
Here are the two updated configurations…
1.83GHz: Combo Drive Model
- 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 1GB memory
- 80GB hard drive
- $599.
2.0GHz: SuperDrive Model
- 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 1GB memory
- 120GB hard drive
- $799.
Both models are available now.
The Mac mini comes bundled with the amazing new iLife ’08, Front Row and includes the Apple Remote (a nice little companion for controlling a Mac’d Ride). Another sweet accessory, just announced by Apple is the new ultra-slim, anodized aluminum wireless bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard features special function keys for one-touch access to Mac features like play/pause, volume, etc. The keyboard looks sleek and compact for stashing away under a car seat when not in use. The new wireless keyboard retails for $79.
