COMPUTERS AND NETWORKING

摘要

It's been nearly two years since Apple updated its one and only product aimed at the low end of the computer market, but the 2009 Mac Mini is now available. Consistent with the company's pattern of adding features rather than lowering prices, the new model will run you $599 or $799, depending on whether you want 1 or 2 CB of memory (upgradable to 4 GB) and a 120 or 320 GB hard drive. Either way, it comes with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, an 8x double-layer SuperDrive, and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GPU that boosts the Mini's graphics performance by up to 500 percent. And, as before, no display, keyboard, or mouse. Also new is the ability to drive two displays simultaneously, including the Apple LED Cinema Display or third-party products.
