It is a silver box, it looks great, it is everything you expect from an Apple product.

Not a lot else can be said about the Mac miniвЂ™s design. Given the amount of power it can turn out it is staggeringly lightweight. The box itself is tiny at just 3.6 x 19.7 x 19.7cm and weighs only 1.22kg.

We used an old wireless USB keyboard and mouse and plugged the box straight into our TV via HDMI. The real joy behind the Mac mini is that you can stick whatever accessories you have into it.

This, however, will add another ВЈ899 to your bill and youвЂ™d probably be better off looking at an iMac instead. The inclusion of the new Thunderbolt port does mean that you not only get access to really fast data transfer speeds (with a compatible device), but you can stick the Mac mini into the brand new Apple Thunderbolt display. We love slick design, but weвЂ™d also like to be able to easily access that slot when inserting the card from a camera. Plenty then, even if the SD card slot is in a position impossible to get to if youвЂ™ve installed the Mac mini under your TV.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also included for wireless connections. The black back is crammed with ports: you get 4 USB 2.0 to play with (Apple eschewing the faster USB 3.0), HDMI out, Thunderbolt, Ethernet, SD card reader and finally the FireWire 800 port.

It is particularly rewarding when someone who hasnвЂ™t seen one before asks: вЂњwhat is that little box with an Apple logo on?вЂќ and you explain it is a PC and they refuse to believe you. It means that the Mac mini is totally unobtrusive, sitting very happily in a living room and drawing just the right amount of attention to itself. On the front is nothing more than a sleep/wake light and an IR receiver. The Mac mini maintains the companyвЂ™s signature minimalist approach, stripping back everything until you are left with what is essentially a smooth aluminium box with an Apple logo on top. No one can argue that Apple doesnвЂ™t make beautiful products, its all-brushed aluminium lineup being about as good as it gets when it comes to design. So is the Mac mini a decent affordable entry into the world of the Mac? Or is it too wimpy in the power department to put up a fight against its bigger brothers? Design The 2011 model, however, has the power of an Intel Sandy Bridge processor inside, and with the basic MacBook currently retired, the Mac mini holds onto its position as the most affordable route to Mac ownership.ДЄt ВЈ529 for the entry-level model, which ships with a decent enough i5 processor, it's possible that the Mac mini has also become a viable alternative to the iMac, which now starts at ВЈ999, although offers a much higher run of spec options. Given the price and power it provided, the MacBook always seemed like the better choice.
