Just 10 days after Apple announced the new Mac mini I recieved mine last Friday 
Would you believe me if I’d tell you that I was happy as a child on christmas evening when I unpacked it?
I bought the “small” version with a 2.0Ghz Core2Duo, a 120Gb 5400rpm HDD and 1Gb of RAM because I am going to upgrade HDD and RAM myself.
All in all I really like the new mac mini. It plays 1080p Blurays just fine. It’s boot up time is also great (even with the 5400rpm HDD and 1Gb RAM!) and the noise… what noise? My Dell XPS M1530 is way noisier than this mini (WAAAAAAAAAAY noisier!) The fan almost never kicks in and even when it does… it’s noise is pretty pleasant. Sadly there are still some annoying bugs, but Apple is working on Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Mac OS Snow Leopard. Hope they will fix everything that annoys me :p There is not much more to say about the new Mac mini, no impressive innovations, still the same design… Have a look at my unboxing pics if you want. I’ll post an update of the upgrading process when I received the new HDD and RAM.
Isn’t the box cute?
