No keyboard and mouse for the price is asking a bit much. Don't hold your breath for Blu-ray. SD card reader on the back. iMac is better value for new PC buyers
Super compact design. Aluminum unibody construction. SD slot supports new SDXC cards. Included HDMI-to-DVI adapter and HDMI port. Extremely low power usage. GreenTech Approved. Internal power supply. Accessible memory slots. More 3D power than anything in its class.

The Apple Mac mini (HDMI) is an all-around improvement with a new unibody aluminum chassis to match the rest of the Macintosh line. The mini is the mainstream, compact PC you've been searching for, and it defines its category....
The role of the Mac mini has changed dramatically over the past five years. What once was a way for Apple to tempt users into trying OS X is now a fairly expensive, niche Mac. As an HTPC the new Mac mini is great. It works just as well as any of the ION b...

Abstract: I’ve always thought that the compact design of the Mac Mini made it an ideal little media centre, yet Apple has persisted in focusing its entertainment efforts on the decidedly under-achieving AppleTV, instead. However, Apple has finally...
The peerless Mac experience is what the Mac Mini is all about. OS X Snow Leopard is stunning and now comes with the killer Mac App Store for downloading add-ons without having to trawl the web. Firewire and four USB ports mean that connectivity is more than ample, while the 19.7.x19.7x3.6cm means you can hide this machine away easily, saving stacks of space compared to some less than clever PC ri
As ever with Apple, it’s the pricing that really sticks in the craw. At £612 for the “cheap” version, it’s hard to justify. There are small-scale PCs that offer similar specs at a much lower price.
