Replaced by redesigned Mid 2010 Mac mini on 2010.06.15 2.53 Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server, 4 GB RAM, and dual 500 GB hard drives retails at US$999. Our Leopard Group is for those using Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. Our Mac mini Group is for those using G4 or Intel Mac minis.PowerPC Macs won’t let you install OS X to a USB drive or choose it as your startup volume, although there is a work around for that. PowerPC Macs running any version of the Mac OS prior to 10.4.2 cannot mount GPT volumes. Both PowerPC and Intel Macs can boot from APM (Apple’s old partitioning scheme) hard drives, which is the format you must use to create a universal boot drive in Leopard. Only Macintel models can boot from GPT hard drives. Intel-based Macs use a partitioning scheme known as GPT. Mac OS X includes support for remapping the Windows alt and option keys to option and cmd respectively. Apple says buyers can plug in their favorite USB keyboard and mouse – or buy Apple’s offerings. The Mac mini doesn’t include a keyboard or mouse. On the rear, just enough ports to do everything important. On the front, there’s just a slot-loading optical drive (and for the first time, it’s a SATA SuperDrive) and a power light. The tiny Mac mini (6.5″ square, 2″ high, 2.9 lb.) has a minimalist design. Like the Early 2009 model, this Mini has five USB 2.0 ports (up from four on pre-2009 Intel Minis), two monitor ports, and FireWire 800. The Intel-based Mac mini looks like previous models from the front, but the rear is different. And for power users, there’s now a server version with a second hard drive bay in place of the optical drive.įor those who need more processing power, you can order the Mac mini with a 2.53 GHz or 2.66 GHz CPU. Just seven months after overhauling the Mac mini, Apple made some small improvements: The base speed is now 2.26 GHz, 2 GB of RAM is the norm, and the 160 GB hard drive holds more data than the 120 GB drive found in the previous version.
