New Mac Mini out. Costs £499. Idles at 13 Watts. Ra Ra.
I bought the original Mac Mini, when it had a 1.1GHz Power PC processor and a decent 256MB RAM because I'd always pined for a portable desktop and remember the wow factor people experienced seeing it in the flesh.
Thought it's by far the least successful of Apple's line up, it has become the defacto small desktop.
Of course, we aim to disrupt that minor hegemony with our B1 which has 4GB of faster ram, a much faster dual core CPU (or even Phenom Quad Core), up to 500GB drive (250GB 7200RPM as standard), and onboard ATI 3200 chipset (with HDMI and DVI output) as well as 2 eSATA ports for real (not USB) RAID and dual gigabit LAN. All for a measly £450 ex VAT.

I headed straight here after hearing about the 13W claim – glad to see you’re showing them how it’s really done.
Do give us updates on when and where we can get a hold of the new bits of kit you mention on this blog!
