The Mac Mini: death or changes very soon?
The Mac Mini is the machine that Apple sells the least. Perhaps appeared slightly too early, this very specific Mac is characterized by its small size and the fact that it is sold as such: single, without a keyboard or mouse, or screen. Therefore, it is aimed at those who already have the equipment or to others who want a new machine, together devices of their choice.
The Mac Mini is also the machine least update from Apple. The firm does is rarely occupied, merely to increase slightly the frequency, RAM and hard drive. The design has not changed, nor its connections and yet the Mini can largely find its place in a lounge for example. Because, although more expensive than the Apple TV for example (500 euros against 300), he replaces as Media Center, the fact that Mac OS X is then manipulated and can install codecs including video.
Except that now, when you said that Apple does not deal with its Mac Mini, he abandoned for good. So while all ranges have changed even twice, the Mini has not been changed for over a year. However, according to information revealed by Gizmodo, Apple may be in the process of updating its Mac Mini … or kill him.
Thus, two big sellers in Europe described as “major” reported that orders for Mac Mini could not do at Apple. And if the current estimate is that the Cupertino firm is preparing to bury a machine with many expecting a renewal, is that we have made it clear to these same two vendors that there was nothing in wait.
Apple had created the machine to allow those who wanted to have a Mac desktop without buying a machine complete, and especially without having to pay a Mac Pro, five times more expensive. However, recent renewals materials, including those of the MacBook, had an interesting perspective: Core 2 Duo processors recent GeForce 8400M, NVIDIA chipset, memory and disk drives increased …
The current rumors point to a renewal of the range iMac in the coming weeks. This will surely be an opportunity for Apple to kill his “little” or give it rather a little life.
