04-03-09 / 21:32 : New mac mini priced too high / iMac (cjed) | New mac mini and iMac keep Core 2 Duo processors (not Nehalem), only MacPro benefit from the new Nehalem architecture (Xeon version, even more powerful), a month before it being available for other vendors.
The Mac mini at 799$ is less appealing than the base iMac (1199$) : for a price difference of only 400$ the imac features a really more powerfull processor (2,66Ghz against 2.0Ghz, 6Mb of cache - 3Mb on the mac mini -, the imac processor is on a slot - soldered in the mac mini), the max ram is 4 Gb only on the mac mini (8 Gb in the imac), the imac includes a 7200 rpm (5400 in the mac mini), a display, keyboard and mouse (option with the mac mini).
The base MacPro model is more expensive than the previous one (also more powerfull), and its ram is limited to 8 Gb (32 Gb on 8 cores configurations). | | Comments | Write a comment | |
