The Apple Mac mini packs even more power, thanks to the latest
dual-core and quad-core Intel processors. It also comes with integrated
Intel HD Graphics 4000, Thunderbolt, USB 3, and OS X Mountain Lion--the
latest release of the world's most advanced desktop operating system.
The powerhouse Mac mini.
Plenty of ports, including USB 3, HDMI, and Thunderbolt.
This
version of the Mac mini (model MD387LL/A) features a 2.5 GHz Intel Core
i5 dual-core processor as well as 4 GB of RAM (expandable to 16 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.
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.
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.
USB 3
With
USB 3 built into the Mac mini, you can connect your external hard drive
and transfer large files in seconds instead of minutes. Every Mac mini
comes with four USB 3 ports--with speeds up to 10 times faster than USB
2--and you can connect all your USB-compatible devices, including your
iPhone, iPad, iPod, or digital camera.
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Intel
HD Graphics 4000 delivers up to 65 percent more pixel-pushing
performance than the previous generation of integrated graphics. So the
video you watch and the games you play are smoother and more responsive.
Flipping through photo albums is a breeze. And you've got all the power
you need to edit your HD video into a film worthy of a red carpet
premiere.

Note:
The Mac mini does not come with an optical drive, however OS X Mountain
Lion offers the convenient DVD or CD Sharing feature, which lets you
wirelessly "borrow" the optical drive of a nearby Mac or PC. So you can

drive without having to carry one around. Additionally, you can connect
an optional optical drive via one of the USB ports.

The
Mac mini comes with 90 days of free telephone support and a 1-year

world's most advanced desktop operating system. Since the software built
into every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac, you
get a fully integrated system in which everything works together
perfectly. OS X works with the processor in your Mac to deliver the best
possible performance. Power Nap even takes advantage of the Mac
hardware to keep the entire system up to date while it sleeps.
