Inexpensive, But Never Cheap
All that, and not an inch of wasted space. Apple engineers designed this small wonder from the ground up to deliver the most Mac for the least dinero. Inside its petite 2-inch tall, 6.5-inch square anodized aluminum enclosure, Mac mini houses a 1.42 GHz G4 processor, 80 GB hard drive, a slot-loading CD-R/DVD-ROM optical drive, 256 MB DDR SDRAM and ATI Radeon 9200 graphics chip with 32 MB dedicated DDR SDRAM -- all whisper-quiet.

Connect your digital devices, such as cameras, iPod, printer, camcorder or keyboard to the Mac mini over USB 2.0 or FireWire. Built-in 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet and a 56K v.92 fax modem give you access to broadband or dial-up connections to the Internet. A headphone/audio line-out jack lets you listen to stereo sound.

Rearrange the Furniture, Anytime
Believe it or not, all this technology weighs just 2.9 pounds. Imagine a desktop computer you can easily move from your study to the kitchen on a whim. Mac mini won't break your back when you want to shuffle things around.

Pint-sized Perfection
The result? A machine you don’t actually mind putting atop your desk. At just 6.5 inches square and 2 inches tall, Mac mini fits anywhere. Its sleek anodized aluminum styling hints at the refined edges and rounded corners of its big brother, the iMac G5. A reflective white cover picks up the tones of your home decor and makes the ideal mate to put next to your iPod dock. Best of all, Mac mini purrs along at a whisper-quiet sound level, so there’s no reason to hide it under your desk like an old PC to save your ears. In fact, Mac mini puts the digital lifestyle right at your fingertips. Pop a DVD into the slot-loading combo drive or make a mix CD. Connect your iPod, digital camera, printer or DV camcorder via FireWire or USB ports on the back. Surf the Internet over Ethernet, modem or optional AirPort wireless.

It’s all there. In fact, it’s hard to believe that there’s any place left for the rest of the computer. But squeezed in under that optical drive and behind all those ports lie a G4 processor, room for up to 1 GB PC2700 main memory, a Radeon 9200 graphics chip and 32 MB DDR SDRAM for it. And a large enough hard drive -- to store today’s digital media. There’s even space for an AirPort Extreme wireless networking card and an internal Bluetooth module. So you get the option of the power and promise of cable-free computing.

Mac mini looks great no matter how -- or where -- you stack it up.
