The full-screen Front Row media experience — with its intuitive menus, large text, and brilliant graphics — lets you browse the music, photos, and videos on your Mac mini as easily as you browse music on your iPod. The included Apple Remote lets you enjoy your media from anywhere in the room, from your desk chair to favorite sofa. Front Row and Mac mini can even play music, photos, and videos saved on other computers in the house, thanks to Bonjour instant networking³. So gather your friends and dazzle them with a slideshow of your vacation pics, a home movie, your latest playlist, or a DVD.

More Mac per square inch.

Mac mini is anything but mini under its hood. With either 2GB or 4GB of memory, Mac mini gives you twice as much memory as the previous generation. So now you can run more applications at the same time. You also get a 2.26GHz or a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a blazing-fast 1066MHz frontside bus, and 3MB of L2 cache. Now you can get a 160GB, 320GB, or optional 500GB hard drive⁵ and pack in your photos, movies, music, and more, more, more.

 

The world’s most energy-efficient desktop computer.

EPEAT Gold and Energy Star logos with a recycle symbol What Mac mini doesn’t do could be its biggest feat. It doesn’t waste energy. When Mac mini is idle, it consumes less than 14 watts2 — no other desktop computer does that. Mac mini is made from highly recyclable aluminum. And the small package makes it efficient to ship.

¹ Performance based on common application tasks in iPhoto '08. Testing conducted by Apple in July 2007 using preproduction Mac mini units with 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; all other systems were production units. Safari HTML Load Speed (cached) test, Java Script, and Java VM are a subset of the i-Bench 5.0 benchmark. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac mini.
