2009 Mac Desktop Refresh: Mac Mini

2009-03-04
everyone and welcome to another tech related video what's up guys and today I'm just gonna go over with you what exactly Apple has done yesterday that made a big release a lot of big things happened yesterday in the world of tech so I'm just gonna go over with you aqua and maximize this in a video serious step of them and I'll put them together in a playlist so I'm gonna have a bunch of videos about what Apple has done so there's been a whole desktop refresh basically so this is going to be video one about I'm gonna try to cover the Mac minis today Soto to discover this basically go to apple.com and go to the Mac tab apple.com slash Mac and we're just going to go to the left and find here we go about halfway over and find the Mac Mini just click on it the first thing you're going to notice this it says faster now I'll get to that then it says greener and still mini now we know it's still mini okay but when they say faster the first thing you're talking about is five times faster Nvidia graphics performance and also a processing improvement so when they say faster they're using the new nvidia geforce 9400m graphics processor bringing you supposedly up to five times faster graphics performance as you can see on the screen here and you can also view the performance jar I'll just click on it here so you guys can see there you go previous baseline Mac Mini and the new Mac Mini seven times better and you can use the Apple cinema displays notion is really really sleep so it says the 2.2 gigahertz model compared to the previous 2.0 gigahertz model so it'll probably be more like here if you're going with the baseline baseline Mac Mini that's new so that's the first part when I say faster number two is that they say up to four gigabytes of memory and we all know Apple likes to put in that ddr3 memory I don't know if they're doing this with a Mac Mini quite yet but that is very good four gigs of memory again it's a desktop so it should have all the baseline features that a Mac that a desktop does have and it's the Mac Mini so we saw that we've all seen that video of the first dumb the guy's spinning around the new Mac Mini several days before they release it here on apple.com but you can see as I'm showing you guys here I'll probably highlight it there are five USB ports on the back and we can go around and see the power button we see the Kensington lot audio in audio out mini DVI firewire 800 I do believe I have firewire on my laptop's as well mini DisplayPort and maybe Gigabit Ethernet so that's a pretty basically out 5 USB ports is very good and I give a decent amount of expandability again it's a baseline Mac so you're not gonna get an amazing specs or anything but so bring your own keyboard displaying Mouse they all they're also expending what you can use with the Mac Mini it's basically a laptop well I want to say that it's it's got the specs of a laptop but it's just a small desktop basically this is the least expensive Mac Mini and I'll go go over to the price for you at the top of their website if you go to buy now we'll see there's more than one model actually there's a base line 2.0 gigahertz with 120 gigabyte hard drive ok that's gonna use a 90 400 m graphics already and it has a 2.0 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and you'll get only one gig of ram with this model but again it's baseline it's only $600 so um I mean they're okay specs is for someone who's just doing again word processing they want a simple baseline Mac OS 10 Leopard you know they're not going to do that video editing or anything on the Mac Mini on the baseline Mac Mini so that's what you're gonna get it's not that hard the second one is the the new faster one the Intel Core 2 Duo the 2.0 gigahertz with a 320 gigabyte hard drive which is slightly larger actually it's got some decent sized hard drive for a desktop it's not you know it's not again it's not an iMac it's not a Mac Pro 2 Mac Mini and this one's $800 because you're also getting 2 gigabytes of RAM and if we do select it you'll see there's a number of customization features we can actually go even more in-depth say I want to get the 2.2 6 gigahertz processor that's $150 add-on you can get 4 gigs of ram like I showed you also I said it works with the Apple cinema displays you can get one here for $900 of course I I'm not gonna recommend that quite yet of course the Apple keyboard mouse I would go 9 over that in a later video but that's basically it so the new Mac Mini starts at six hundred dollars if you're looking into it and yeah that's basically it so again if you guys have any questions about the new line if you have any questions about the new line of Mac minis just should subscribe and send me a message and I might do a video on it I'll answer your question as much as I can but again there's a new Mac Mini there's a new iMac there's a new Mac Pro there's a live phone I got a lot of videos to do so guys stay with me here and hope you like this video so thanks for watching and subscribe and there will be plenty more tutorials to come thanks for watching this one face
