Mini Core Duo Review


So when Apple had they’re whole “It’s Showtime” release, that seemed to have been teamed with a nice price drop on select goodies and new hyper-white ego-equipped toys on the apple store. One of which was their 24inch iMac and the new Core Duo mac-mini.

When I first saw these things on the market I couldn’t believe the fact they fit a computer in a box smaller then my hat, I mean the thing is smaller then my photoprinter and fits under my monitor. It was damn impressive. Now that they have a core duo model that supports the universal binaries, $799 for all that good stuff don’t seem all that bad. The review produced some really great results, and after hearing about deep’s applescripts he pulled for iTunes, I feel like i need one for the purposes of a media center.

We actually just wired our mini at work to a shiny new AKAI 27″ flat pannel that sits ever-so-nicely in the situation room as I call it. By the way, don’t ever bother trying to wire a computer (DVI/VGA) out via HDMI.. it’s a nightmare with the overscan. We found that just going VGA works the best. Overall it’s a nice touch. Watch part of a movie at lunch, throw some YouTube favs on and pull up a site/some files for client meetings. Not to mention I can kick back and read my daily grind with a microwave burrito or left-overs at lunch. Ah yes, it is good.
