New Mac minis

The Mac Mini runs on an older Core2Duo chip, so it will be marginally slower.

There are benchmarks here that might provide a better insight.
 
The 2009 mac mini is basically identical to the core spec of the Uniboday MacBook, so will likely perform identically.

The 2009 version jumped bang up to date - 1066MHz FSB, DDR3 RAM, 45nm CPUs and the 9400m graphics.

Not such a bad price then considering what spec your getting and the quality is probably awesome as with any apple product.

Though if it was me, i think i would shell out a bit more for an iMac. But other than that it looks great and nice and small. Might be something that I would consider buying one day - especially if manage to convert myself to Mac full time. ;)
 
I dont meen to hijack the thread but I have a 2008 mac mini base model with 1GB ram & wanted to know what 4GB kit's you guys are buying for the ram upgrades. I really feel like treating it to a SSD and some ram from OCUK.

I leave my mini on 24/7 with a webserver running and iPhone dev plus the odd bit of surfing on it and love it to bits.

Cheers,
Matt.

I got Crucial memory for it but the 2008 ones take DDR2 not DDR3 I think?

Thanks OllyM, yeah I just realized that. I did a forum search and although people have mentioned upgrading their mac mini ram from OCUK, they never mention which kits they purchased!! :)
 
You can't fit 4GB in that machine. The older ones use DDR2 and are limited to 2GB by the chipset.

It's the same stuff as my MBP uses - 667MHZ DDR2 SO-DIMMS.

ohh, I was under assumtion that it would pickup 3.xxGB of the 4GB? thanks for the replies though guys.
 
Pretty sure it will, 4GB is so cheap anyway that if it doesn't work it's not the end of the world!
 
Yes, dual booting is easy thanks to Boot Camp (bundled free on OS X).

All reviews point to the Mac Mini being silent, and my brief experience with them would reinforce that opinion.

As for gaming.. it isn't going to run any new games, you might be lucky with a bit of WoW or some older RTS games.
