Updates for the Mac Mini; forgotten by some, but loved by the entertainment and lower cost crowd. The Mini has more memory and faster processor chips than when refreshed in February. The base model starting out at 2.26Ghz 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive. If you already have a keyboard, mouse and monitor this unit is perfect for the "I just want to do email" crowd. What no monitor? How about a HD TV with HDMI ports? Just plug it in and off you go. I use mine with a 37 inch Samsung but they also work great hooked to a 52 inch or a 22 inch HD TV. You will need a $30.00 adapter cable and of course a HDMI cable to plug between your computer adapter and the TV. The next model up offers the 2.53Ghz processor and 4GB of RAM as well as a 320GB hard drive to keep all those movies, oops I mean emails on.

All and all a good selection of updates from Apple although I do miss the 24 inch model of iMac. I think it fit better for those folks who feel the 27 is too large and the 21.5 is too small.
