Review Summary

I am jumping ship from a slowly dying Mac Pro Tower G5 which is a great machine but no longer able to be updated. I have been waiting to purchase the new (possibly) upcoming Mac Pro Tower for 2013, but I couldn't wait any longer. So I bought this mini to hold me over until the new Mac Pros appear. Surprise! This little computer is very fast, efficient and powerful. It has four USB 3 ports, a firewire 800 port and (drum roll) Thunderbolt!! fastest port in the West! It has a 1 TB fusion drive which is quite a bit faster than a standard HD running at 7200 rpm. I bought this with 8GB and it can be (user) upgraded to 16GB Ram. It also came a HDMI video port driven by Intel HD Graphics 4000! What's not to love? I may not need that Mac Pro anytime soon.

Mac mini features third-generation Intel Core processors, faster integrated graphics, Thunderbolt, and plenty of ports. Expect big things. With third-generation Intel Core processors, Mac mini keeps up with computers twice its size. You can choose a 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5. Or go for an even more powerful 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 for up to two times the performance of the previous-generation dual-core Mac mini.
When you're using processor-intensive applications, Turbo Boost 2.0 increases the clock speed up to 3.6GHz. Hyper-Threading lets each core run two threads, so OS x multitasks even more efficiently. And an integrated memory controller connects fast 1600MHz memory directly to the processor, so it gets right to work on your data. In short, Mac mini is a little box of vroom.
Intel HD Graphics 4000 delivers up to 65 percent more pixel-pushing performance than the previous generation of integrated graphics. So the video you watch and the games you play are smoother and more responsive. Flipping through photo albums is a breeze. And you've got all the power you need to edit your HD video into a film worthy of a red carpet premiere.
