Apple, feature a unique design, compact and high performance. Most popular in the world series of computers Apple iMac, which in one case combined and the system unit and monitor. The design of these computers is so unusual and attractive that they are traditionally used as decorations in their films and television programs. In our store you can buy an iMac 20 and iMac 24 - the most popular model to date in this series. Among the Apple Mac desktop computers, there are individual system components. Thanks to the original design in the Apple Mac mini with an extremely small size could accommodate everything needed for comfortable work. It only remains to connect it to a mouse, keyboard and monitor. As in the case of the "big brothers", complete with the Apple Mac mini is a remote control Apple Remote, that allows you to control playback on your computer, music, videos and photo collections through Front Row.
The range of desktop Apple includes three models: the Mac mini, iMac and Mac Pro. These models are the third generation of Macs using Intel multi-core. It is also the third generation of machines not only compatible with Mac OS X, but also with Windows operating systems from Microsoft. Despite these shortcomings, there are still areas where Apple excels. The most important is certainly the operating system. Since the question is subjective, it will not institute against Windows Mac OS debate, both systems have their advantages and disadvantages. The real question is which one suit you best. OS X is excellent in its field. Based on the UNIX platform, which ensures stability legendary, OS X's Aqua interface shines as intuitive and attractive, especially since the recent release of Leopard.
Take risks, that is also an area where Apple has largely unmarked. Few PC makers have risked launching their range of iMac-colored fruit or flower power. This kind of risk has led to a degree of aesthetics that you will not find in any other competitor. While some manufacturers have attempted to leave their PC all-in-one, none of them has been able to match the superb design of the iMac. But Apple has already had his way, and the models made in monoblock design, constantly present in the product line. With varying degrees of success they lived until 1998, when it was introduced the first iMac. What is interesting, his features preserved in the current model - a single body monitor + PC, a fixed set of input / output ports, lack of installation by the user of any expansion cards, a small number of hardware modifications.
Mac Mini
Surprisingly small and economical computer with a fast Intel processor and powerful graphics NVIDIA. Can be used as a home or office computer, or serve as a center for home entertainment systems. Full metal casing thickness 3.6 cm, an internal power supply, a new video processor NVIDIA GeForce 320M and an even larger hard disk capacity. Here is an incomplete list of improvements. Apple has unveiled the third iteration of its desktop Mac Mini. In short: more expensive, more stylish and more energy for better performance.
Level Design First: the white plastic shell gives way to a stylish aluminum cladding for the new computer smaller (19.7 x 19.7 x 3.6 cm), with a weight of 1.37 kg. Configuration, for its part, is enriched with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 2 GB of RAM format SO-DIMM and a 320 GB hard drive, and a SuperDrive optical drive slot-in type. The graphics, for its part, should be ensured by a chip GeForce 320M using 256 MB of shared memory.
The connectivity of the computer is also improved: the key, new uses ... The integration of HDMI, in addition to 4 USB ports, enabling you to connect to an HDTV. And the new SD card slot is handy for unloading photos and videos that are on a digital camera. Network side, there is a controller 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 and Gigabit Ethernet. Another addition, the new Mac Mini is very greedy: power consumption is reduced by 25%, less than 10 watts in standby. If your computer use is limited to office tasks and Internet, the Mac mini is certainly an entry-level computer adapted. If your needs are limited to sending emails, browsing the Internet, word processing, watching the video or the basic editing of photos of low or medium resolution, then you will be well satisfied with a Mac mini .
Memory is now directly accessible. A small rotation of the bottom plate, and get the user to sparsely populated DIMM slots filled with new memory modules. It is highly recommended. 2 GB is not much memory for a computer, which also share the memory with Geforce 320M needs. Compared with the previous Mac mini models, the removable bottom plate, and a huge gain in comfort. Previously had the Mini with spatulas and sensitivity levered and then partially disassembled to get at the RAM slots.
Some Drawbacks
A USB port is needed to make way for the SDXC card reader can get in the fast SD cards with capacities of up to 2 terabytes. As reported X Mac OS now dominates the file system exFAT also, but only with a special build. With exFAT formatted media of the new Mac mini is not compatible with other Macs. Hopefully this will change with Mac OS X 10.6.5. The fact that Apple does not use i-Core processor, at least understandable. Technically, it is not easy to accommodate a faster graphics core with in such a compact enclosure. Intel's high-definition graphics as part of the CPU package is simply too slow for serious graphics core pass as. The next opportunity would be a chipset with a fast graphics core, but that does not want Apple's suppliers Intel and Nvidia denied the license.
The third and last option uses the Apple Macbook Pro 15 and 17 to: a three-chip solution consisting of CPU, 1-chip chipset and a dedicated GPU. The Apple would not or could not do as early as Macbook Pro 13 was seen. Long overdue, it was for Apple to address the power supply. The old external 110-watt block was removed. Instead, we find the 85-watt universal power supply (100 to 240 volts) directly in the case of the Mac Mini. Also is the not so common cloverleaf connector (C5) off the power supply. Only the widespread small plug (C7) does the Mac.
