The Mac mini is a master stroke by Apple – it's essentially a headless iMac, supplied without a monitor, keyboard or mouse, enabling users to get on the Mac ladder for less money than ever before, by reusing their existing peripherals....

One of the best parts of owning a Mac mini is being able to move it around easily. Want to watch a DVD in the living room? You can take it there without trouble. Need to bring it back to the office for some more work? Just pick it up and carry it there,...

The new Mac mini machines give us an idea of where we're headed in terms of desktop performance from Apple for the rest of the year. Performance is way up over previous PPC models and in the case of the mini, prices are taking slight hikes as well....

The Apple Mac mini ($874 direct) is still a triumph of compact design and a cool alternative to the tower PC. Other mini PCs, however, are encroaching upon what was once the Mac mini's sole domain and have worn down its edge a bit over the past year....

At the same time it revamped its iMac , Apple also more quietly updated its smaller-scale Mac Mini desktops, adding a faster Intel Core 2 Duo processor in place of the old Core Duo chips. The result is more or less competitive performance compared to...
