Apple Mac mini Dual Core 1.66GHz review - [hardware]
08:17 AM EDT - Apr,12 2006 - post a comment

DesignTechnica has posted a review of Apple Mac mini Dual Core 1.66GHz, the new Intel based Apple Mac. Here's an excerpt:
One thing that impressed me about the Intel-based Mini is it's ability to do more than just run OSX and look svelte. I plugged the Mini into a 20-user Windows XP network, duplicated the entire contents of the Dell PowerEdge server onto to the Mini's hard drive, and after a little configuration on the Mini and Windows machines, had the Mini running as a worthy replacement file server. Gigabit Ethernet helps a lot, especially if the Mini is going to be used to send or receive large files over a LAN.

The Mac Mini is the Bruce Lee of the computing world - small frame, incredibly fit, lightning fast and able to take on any sized opponent with unflinching confidence. The video performance was impressive - exceptional in many ways - but could be improved upon. The integrated video chip is certainly worthy of applause and congratulations but it may not deserve a standing ovation.

Pros:
-
Super small size
- Low power consumption
- Silent operation
- Ease of use
- Multi-purpose computer - jack of all trades, master of most.

Cons:
- Full motion video output could be a little better
- Total cost of ownership is higher than expected
- Mono speaker
