Morgan and I noticed the online Apple store was down yesterday. We thought that Apple would have done another silent release of a product but appears nothing really happened. It was just down for maintenance and removal of some items.
According to TUAW nothing was removed from US stores but in EU the eMac, Airport base stations and iSights were taken off because they didn’t comply with the stricter environmental laws.
Apple announced brand new Mac minis today, with notable changes.
Intel’s Sandy Bridge processors have been added to Apple’s new line of Mac minis in the form of Intel Core i5s. Now, what is “Sandy Bridge,” you ask? Specifically, that’s the name of the processor that is the successor to the Nehalem processor. Sandy Bridge processors are touted to be “up to 2x faster” per Apple’s claims.
The new Mac minis sport faster graphics (with a discrete AMD Radeon HD graphics processor) and also include support for Thunderbolt connectivity. The Thunderbolt port gives access for the new Apple Thunderbolt Display and also supports Mini DisplayPort peripherals. Mac mini features an HDMI and built-in SDXC card slot.
What’s more (or should I say “what’s less) is that these new models have eliminated optical drives, taking a cue from the MacBook Air line. A separate SuperDrive is available for purchase.
My favorite part so far? NO MORE POWER BRICK. Mac mini now has a built-in power brick, so all you see is a single cord.
