In the Apple Keynote yesterday the company "surprised" us with a renewed and cheaper Mac Mini which is consolidated as the best gateway not only to OS X but to the whole bitten apple ecosystem.
Mac Mini and Giant at the same time
El Mac Mini has always been the cheapest computer in Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), although to this one must add a monitor, keyboard and mouse. But although it is inexpensive and partially breaks that belief that Apple products are clear and exclusive, we are facing a very powerful team, in fact, more powerful than most users, including myself, need. And it is that computers on the block have always been more than a response to our needs.
Mac Mini, «Mini and giant at the same time». So goes the slogan of the new Cupertino «mini-computer» precisely because in the most compact and lightest size they have created a powerful team.
From a technical point of view, new Mac Mini, and I focus only on the most basic model, although basic in the strict sense it has very little, it incorporates an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor at 1,4GHz, 500Gb of storage (expandable), 4 GB of memory (expandable) and HD Intel Graphics 5000. In short, a light, fluid and powerful computer that comes standard already with OS X Yosemite.
Along with these technical details that to many sound like Chinese, its connectivity stands out. Look at everything that you can connect on its discreet back:
Mac Mini Connectivity
At Mac Mini you can connect everything from an SD card to, for example, 4 external hard drives through its four USB 3.0 ports. Imagine how much you can expand.
And one of the things that I like the most about Mac Mini It is its mobility because, although we are talking about a desktop computer, its compact size and low weight of just over a kilo allows you to take it on vacation wherever you want and connect it, for example, to your HD TV through your HDMI connection.
But now the Mac Mini It is more attractive than ever, especially for those who still hesitate to switch to Mac because its price has been reduced by € 120 and this exit model that I am talking about can be had for € 499, a really attractive price for what they do not want or they cannot pay larger amounts but want the best benefits.
Yes, as I said before, the screen, mouse and keyboard are missing, but today you have excellent screens at really cheap prices. Or maybe you prefer to connect it to the HD TV that you already have at home.
In my personal opinion, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has succeeded updating the benefits of the Mac Mini and, above all, lowering its price in this way. This is the way.
