The Mac mini Desktop Computer from Apple is a quiet and compact desktop computer. The system, only 6.5" square and 2" high, is a great option for users who would like an inexpensive, yet fully-functional, desktop Mac. The computer ships sans keyboard, mouse, and monitor, allowing you to choose the accessories that best suit your needs for use with the system.

The computer ships with Apple's popular iLife '09 software suite which includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand. Also included is Apple's innovative Front Row application, which allows you to connect your computer to a home entertainment center for use as a media player.

The system is powered by 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU and includes 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, a slot-loading SuperDrive, Bluetooth, 802.11n AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi, and integrated nVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics.

All this hardware runs on Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system. The 64-bit OS features Time Machine backup, which automatically backs up system data to an external hard drive. It also features intuitive Cover Flow navigation, the powerful Spotlight search tool, and Quick Look document preview. You'll be able to use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, or Front Row to turn your Mac into an impressive media player.
