New Mac Mini with Intel & FrontRow

February 28, 2006   0 Comments Apple released their next intel Macintosh today. The Mini. This thing screams to be placed in a Home Theater. The New Mini includes your standard assortment of Apple Apps. But this Mini also includes Front Row and an Apple Remote to control it. Other extras include a built-in Airport, Bluetooth, 4 USB 2.0 Ports, Firewire 400, and they deleted the modem (who uses dial up any more?).

Right now it appears that the graphics card will be on the motherboard and driven by the processor. This could be a problem if the processors can't keep up with video. I think the Dual Core 1.6GHz should be ample to feed 1080p HD Video, if my 800MHz can handle 480p. But tests will tell!
