….and the Mac Mini

Whoops. Forgot the little guy in the other post. Since it’s introduction, the Mac Mini has often received updates and tweaks without much fan fare as it’s larger brethren such as Macbooks, iMacs, and Mac Pros often steal the limelight. Today is no different as it’s other siblings again overshadow Apple’s little niche baby. Still, if you’re in the market for just a computer and already have a screen and peripherals, the Mac Mini is even more attractive. The Mac entry line still starts at $599 but that anemic 2 GHz C2D proc now runs at 2.26GHz. Also included — 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and an Nvidia 9400m GPU. A couple more benjamins will net your a still faster 2.53GHz C2D with 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive. And perhaps the most intriguing version of the new Mac Mini is the Mac Mini “Server Edition”. Essentially, this version which tips the scales at $999 is the same exact unit as the the two previously mentioned Mini’s. The only difference being the Super Drive is kicked to the curb in favor of a second hard drive giving this little box-o-plastic a 1TB total capacity and of course, the inclusion of Snow Leopard Server edition. Those itching for even more space can always swap out their own drives if they so choose. Whistle wet?

So after seeing all the new goods, which is has your wallet’s attention? The newer, faster Macbook, beastly iMac, or little giant — Mac Mini?
