Apple has redesigned it's mac mini. It's now shorter (at just over an inch thick), but also wider (at approximately 7.1" square). The big thing on this one is, on the bottom, there is a round cover. Twist this cover, and remove it, and you are immediately granted access to the RAM. There is also a model range cut for the mini. You now just have the one lower priced (what I call "consumer") model at $699, and then the server at $999. There's also an SD card slot on the back (come in from the left hand side, and it's on the top, above the two round audio ports). Finally, keep going beyond the SD card, towards the right. You will first find four USB 2.0 ports, and beyond the furthest right port (or the one closest to the center of the back of the Mini, however you prefer) there are two ports. One is the mini DVI port that's found on Apple's MacBook Pro. The one to the right of that is long, rectangular, and has an angular shape on the bottom. This is Apple's brand new HDMI port. This means that, if you have an HD TV, you can hook up your Mini and use your HD TV as the monitor. A full port description is as follows. If you come in from the right hand side, the back has the following ports from right to left: Power (switch), power (A/C adapter port), ethernet, Firewire 800 (the horizontal long line below this is a cooling vent), then thee's the HDMI port that I spoke of earlier, and the Mini DVI port. Finally, following on from the DVI port, again proceeding to the left, there is the four USB ports, and an SD card slot, and that's where you will see the left edge of your Mini. Below the SD card slot are two audio jacks. The one closest to the edge is headphone, and the one closest to the center is line-in. More info can be found at http://www.apple.com/macmini/ I'm curious about your opinion on this. For those who don't know, the Mini has been around since 2005, and this is it's first full redesign in five years. In my opinion, it was way overdue, and I'm glad they finally got around to it.
