iMac
For the same price as the previous
generation 20-inch iMac, the new 24-inch iMac delivers a 30 percent
larger display, twice the memory and twice the storage.
Every iMac features a glossy display with a built-in iSight video camera, mic and speakers in a thin aluminum and glass design. The new iMac also includes a Mini DisplayPort connector for a pure digital signal to Apple’s new 24-inch LED Cinema Display with adapters available for DisplayPort, VGA, DVI and Dual-Link DVI displays. iMac includes built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi networking; Bluetooth 2.1+EDR; Gigabit Ethernet; a total of six USB 2.0 ports (including two on the Apple Keyboard); and one FireWire 800 port.
Mac mini
The Mac mini is an innovative, tiny desktop
measuring only 6.5 by 6.5 by 2-inches. Available in two models, Mac
mini features a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR3
1066 MHz memory, up to 320GB Serial ATA hard drive, five USB 2.0 ports,
FireWire 800 and a SuperDrive®. The Mac mini features NVIDIA GeForce
9400M integrated graphics for up to five times better graphics
performance than before and now with dual display support can drive
two Apple or third-party displays with Mini DisplayPort or DVI
connections. Using less than 13 watts of power at idle, up to 10 times
less power than a typical desktop PC, the new Mac mini is the most
energy efficient desktop in the world.
Delivering up
to five times better graphics performance, the updated Mac mini now
features the same NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated
graphics introduced with the aluminum unibody MacBook family.
