Apple’s Midnight Surprise: A Redesigned Mac Mini With HDMI
June 15, 2010 at 04:27 AM EDT
Most Apple fanatics have been counting down to June 15 as the date the iPhone 4 would be available for pre-sale . But Apple had another trick up its sleeve tonight as well. While everyone is distracted on the iPhone page, Apple has quietly refreshed its Mac mini line of computers. And it's more than your standard spec bump. The Mac mini has been given an entirely new slimmer (1.4 inch) aluminum case made using the same unibody technique that Apple uses on the MacBooks. More importantly, the thing packs a powerful processor and supposedly twice the graphics performance. But the big news is that the device has an HDMI output for the first time. You know what that means: this thing just became a lot of people's media center.
