Tiny size; significantly improved graphics performance compared to older models; dual video outputs with support for extended Desktop mode and 30-inch displays; five USB ports; FireWire 800.
Slow hard drive; difficult to upgrade; $200 premium over $599 model doesn’t get you many improvements.
The new Mac mini models provide the most significant upgrades to the line yet, offering slightly better CPU performance, considerably improved video capabilities, increased expandability, and better wireless technology. The result is that for the firs...

Similarly priced PCs offer greater functionality
While we're still impressed that the Apple Mac mini packs so much into a small package, some rival PCs offer more features for less money. If saving space and using Mac OS are important factors for you, the new Mac minis will appeal, but your money wi...
