Year after year I enviously watch he
development on Apple’s newest Mac creations, Mac OS X, iPod’s,
iMac’s, Mac mini and this year finally Apple decided to switch over
processor technology from PowerPC over to Intel CPU’s.The biggest showstopper for me was their high selling prices . But
with their new Intel Core chips which you can’t buy yet for the PC
market, and a relatively low price for a new revolutionary
technology assembled together in a tiny little box, I couldn’t any
longer resist buying a Mac mini.

Calculating together all the pieces, shows that the price is fair
enough to buy, and as usual for Apple you can count on reliable
prices for a long time period. So, if you buy later, it will cost
almost the same and you will miss the technology advantage.

Compared to other processors, the Intel Core definitely has it’s
place, especially compared to power consumption (31Watts).

So here’re some pictures of my new baby, the Mac mini Core
Duo:
