More memory. A faster processor. And still the world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer.
Introducing the new Mac mini. Just connect this tiny 6.5-inch-square Mac to your own display, keyboard, and mouse and you’ve got an instant desktop computer loaded with Mac OS X Snow Leopard and iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. The new Mac mini features a faster processor—up to 2.53GHz—and up to 4GB of memory. That’s twice as much memory as before. It also comes with up to 320GB of storage space1 and high-performance NVIDIA graphics. What doesn’t Mac mini do? It doesn’t waste energy. Mac mini uses less than 14 watts of power when idle, making it the world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer.2 Starting at $599.3

If you have an HD TV in the house, you should see one of these hooked up! Use it for your DVD player, watch iTunes movies or Hulu in giant size. And for a really cool trick – if you have a MacBook running Leopard+, turn screen sharing on and run the mini from your chair!
I was looking for a Mac option under $1000 that was good with graphics-intensive work. I understand the previous mac minis were not so great for that, does anyone know how this rates in regard to running Adobe Creative Suite?
Sasha… All current Mac’s will run CS4. However, which Mac is right for you depends on several factors. Are you creating content for yourself or clients? Are you a student? What is your workload? Do you have deadlines? Do you already have a monitor and keyboard? So it all depends on how much you are trying to get done and how fast. Call me at the store (503-256-5210) and I will be happy to help you find the right Mac.
