Small And Overlooked The Mac mini Gets Updated

It’s funny how the Mac mini always seems to fly under the radar for me. From my days working the retail beat in South Burlington I would often tell customers that Macs start at $999 with the MacBook Air completely forgetting about the Mac mini at $599. It is a silly mistake because the Mac mini is such a great buy and Apple just upgraded its internals.

This new Mac mini sports a faster processor, more memory, better graphics and USB 3 ports while staying at the starting pice of $599. These of course are all minor upgrades but they upgrades none the less and ones I have been waiting for.

For anyone unfamiliar with the Mac mini it is what PC users would call a tower even though by no means does it resemble one. It has all the essential components that mack a computer tick. This means that you (the customer) still need the additional peripherals like a keyboard, mouse, speakers and a display. Most people have some of these things kicking around the house but if you don’t Apple and 3rd party companies sell all of these accessories.

Just like the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display this newly upgraded Mac mini is being shipped out by Apple as of yesterday. We here at Small Dog are still waiting for our stock to come in because we don’t have that teleportation pad installed just yet but when we do rest assured that we will let everyone know. If you are impatient you can always give our retail stores a call or visit our website to see what we have.
