Apple Memory: Apple Mac Mini 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (MC239LL/A) Memory

Apple’s Mac Mini 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (MC239LL/A) Memory is new in the line of memory’s. To recap, Apple updated the CPU, default RAM, and hard-drive capacities of both its $599 and $799 Mac Minis. The Core 2 Duo chip in the $599 Mac goes from 2.0GHz to 2.26GHz, the RAM doubles from 1GB of RAM to 2GB, and the hard drive jumps from a 120GB to a 160GB model. The $799 Mac gets a bigger performance boost with its Core 2 Duo chip going from 2.0GHz to 2.53GHz. Its RAM also doubles from 2GB to 4GB, but its hard drive stays the same size.

If you review Macs then you will came to know that you live in a world where computers are tools, where you can be operating system agnostic, and where you appreciate, but stop short of fetish zing, good design. These assumptions are based purely on its specs where you might be having concerns with the price of both new Mac Minis next to competing small scale Windows-based PCs.

Gateway's SX2800-01 gives the new Minis Mac some stiff competition. A quite good judgment is needed which will help us to test the new Mac Minis, but our hunch is that Gateway's $459, Core 2 Quad-based SX2800-01 slim tower would outperform or come close enough to either new Mac in processing typical workloads. The benefits of the smaller Mini Mac case may also have a hard time competing with the Gateway's versatility that comes from an HDMI output and its upgrade options. There is an expectation of more competitive small PCs to come out over the next few weeks as the holiday buying season continues.

Even if the standard Minis Mac do compete well on recital, the server iteration of the Mac is more interesting, and we credit apple memory for listening to a specialized portion of the Mac  current user base. For $999, Apple will now sell you a Mini Mac that basically mirrors the new $799 model, apart from that instead of OS X you get OS X Server, and the DVD burner that has been replaced by a second hard drive, for 1TB of storage overall. The price might be more than the DIY crowd will tolerate, but any small workgroup environment that might benefit from an out-of-the-way traffic cop it can plug in and forget could very likely be interested in what the Mac Mini Server has to offer.
