Mac mini

Yes I can Google the information but we do have this forum so, can someone explain:

  1. What exactly is this gorgeous Apple product?
  2. How can it help me in my home?

Re: Mac mini

Well, its a nice little box (which comes without any monitor, keyboard and mouse) and is a full fledged computer. I have attached to my TV and that’s where my movies are. I use it as my media center PC and everything plays from there. :slight_smile:

Re: Mac mini

So you sit on your couch and remote control it to turn on your choice of movie.

What would be another purpose, especially since you don’t have a monitor/keyboard/mouse? Could you attach it to a monitor/TV and use it for browsing the Internet for example?

Or is it more like a “server?”

Re: Mac mini

Its a normal desktop computer, that’s it. You can connect your own monitor, keyboard and mouse. Its like any other branded desktop computer from HP/Dell, but with Apple OSX instead of Windows for operating System. Yup, it does looks cute and great as HTPC (Home Theater PC).

Re: Mac mini

And its $599 .

I wonder if I can use it as a development machine !!!

Re: Mac mini

Ok so I just configured one on Apple’s website . With mouse, Keyboard , and DVI adapter it will end up at around $796.00. Now if you’ll add a monitor to it by Apple then $796 + $999 = $1796 .

I would say just buy MacBook unless you don’t want to use it as a server .

Re: Mac mini

^^ I see.
It is space saving…I mean if you have a monitor already or if you’re planning to hook it up with a HDMI cable, then really it’s so little compared to a laptop/computer.

Re: Mac mini

I think the best use of Mac Mini is Media Server as you already have a TV so you dont need to add another $999 for a high def display.

Off course you need a wireless keyboard and touchpad.

Re: Mac mini

What kind of a touch pad?

Re: Mac mini
