Mac mini I bought one :-)

Just happens that my brother in law is working for Apple selling the Mac mini so I just bought one few minutes ago.

Sad that they don't have special employee deals on this one, surely because it's too new. The bill come at a total of 702 euros, including the bluetooth/wifi card and the TV adapter, and there I am talking about the second model.
Not bad at all. Thanks also to a strong Euro ! Sure it's not exactly top notch like some Shuttle PC but it's truely fanless and in my sitting room, no way I will install a noisy PC.

Pity that Steve Jobs didn't decided to push more the concept of Mac mini as a media center. Maybe he just wanted to test the market and we surely can expect a more advanced version next year, a bit like the Ipod which is now at the fourth generation.

  • Just got my confirmation email :-) I just bought the base model + extra memory right now. I guess there's some obvious upgrade paths for Apple now - and the top is flat which suggests the possiblility of upgrade boxes sitting on top (PVR - video input etc...). Can't wait!

  • Macworld's little overview mentions a fan... according to Apple, only 22 dB, but a fan anyway. So it probably is not a fanless machine, after all.

  • i can confirm its not fanless, however it is very quiet. im glad you got the extra memory as i consider 512 to be the minimum to get the most out of system.

  • Ohh damn it!! I was praying that they left out that dust blowing, noisy cooling fan if only it was still a reality to get hold of a fanless system (sigh)
