i5 processor and ultrafast Thunderbolt technology. It also comes with OS X Lion,
the world's most advanced desktop operating system.
The powerhouse Mac mini, now with high-speed Thunderbolt.
This version of the Mac mini (model MC815LL/A) features a 2.3 GHz Intel Core
i5 dual-core processor and Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics as well as
2 GB of RAM (expandable to 8 GB) and 500 GB of hard drive storage. It also comes with the iLife
software suite, which includes the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, and
GarageBand.
OS X Lion
Every Mac comes with OS X Lion, the latest release of the world's most
advanced desktop operating system. With over 250 features including Multi-Touch
gestures, Mission Control, full-screen apps, and Launchpad, OS X Lion takes the
Mac further than ever.
Key OS X Lion Features
- Mission Control provides a bird's-eye view of everything running on your
Mac.
- Launchpad puts all your apps front and center for easy access.
- View apps full screen and switch between them with a swipe.
- Interact with your Mac using intuitive new Multi-Touch gestures.
Key Features
Small Footprint, Excellent Versatility
The Mac mini features a precisely constructed unibody enclosure that even
houses its own integrated power supply into the 7.7-inch square aluminum
enclosure (that's also 1.4 inches thin)--eliminating the need for an external
power brick. Additionally, the Mac mini helps contain your environmental
footprint with a 10 watt power consumption.
Despite its smaller size, the Mac mini offers a full range of ports for
connecting to your existing peripherals--from keyboards and mice to external
hard drives and displays (via the Thunderbolt and HDMI ports). And when you're
ready to add more memory, the Mac mini's bottom removable panel makes the
upgrade process a breeze.
Just add your own display, keyboard, and mouse--such as the Apple Thunderbolt Display, Wireless Keyboard, and Magic Mouse.
A full range of ports, including Thunderbolt and HDMI plus an SDXC card slot.
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O
(input/output) technology delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer
speeds in both directions. Built into the Mac mini, the Thunderbolt port allows
you to connect to new Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as existing USB
and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters. You'll be able to move data up
to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with
FireWire 800, and you can daisy-chain up to six high-speed devices without using
a hub. Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and
works with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI, and VGA displays.
