Apple SuperDrive Mac Mini Specifications

The good:

  • Affordable
  • Extremely compact
  • Whisper quiet
  • Ships standard with 512MB of memory
  • Includes iLife '05

The bad:

  • G4 processor, not G5
  • Peripherals -- even keyboard and mouse -- add to the bill if you don't already own them
  • Case can't be easily opened
  • Slow hard drive
  • Only two USB 2.0 ports

The bottomline:

The Apple SuperDrive Mac Mini addresses some of the shortcomings of its AU$799 predecessor, making it a well-rounded home PC at its base configuration.
