Apple(R) today announced enhancements to its Mac(R) mini line, the most affordable and
compact Mac ever, with 512MB of memory standard in every model and prices
starting at just $499. The Mac mini also features built-in wireless networking
with AirPort(R) Extreme and Bluetooth starting at just $599, and the ability
to burn DVDs with a SuperDrive(TM) for just $699.
 
“Mac mini has been a popular choice for consumers getting started with Mac
OS X and iLife ‘05,” said David Moody, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide
Product Marketing. “With double the memory and new features like built-in
wireless networking and DVD burning, the new Mac mini delivers an even greater
value in an innovative compact design.”
 
The Mac mini lineup includes three models:  1.25 GHz Mac mini, 1.42 GHz
Mac mini and the new 1.42 GHz Mac mini with SuperDrive for burning DVDs and
CDs. The Mac mini with SuperDrive is the most affordable Mac for quickly and
easily creating your own professional quality DVDs using iLife(R) ‘05, Apple’s
award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications. The top two models of
the Mac mini now include built-in AirPort Extreme for 54 Mbps 802.11g fast

convenient access to the Internet. Built-in Bluetooth enables cable-free
communication with Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones and PDAs as well as
popular peripherals such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless
Mouse.
 
Just two inches tall and weighing only 2.9 pounds, Mac mini redefines
design for the sub-$1,000 desktop, and allows users the flexibility to choose
their display, mouse and keyboard. Mac mini includes one FireWire(R) 400 and
two USB 2.0 ports for easy plug-and-play connections to popular peripherals
such as Apple’s market-leading iPod(R) digital music player, digital still
cameras, digital video camcorders and printers. Mac mini offers a DVI
interface that also supports VGA so customers can easily connect to a variety
of LCD or CRT displays and built-in 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet.

lifestyle applications featuring iPhoto(R), iMovie(R), iDVD(R), GarageBand(TM)
