If you have not seen the newest addition to the Macintosh line, it's worth having a look. It is a small computer that is only 6.5 x 6.5 x 2 inches. The Mac Mini is the size of one of the internal CD-ROM drives installed on a PC. By far one of the smallest computers can be bought. And its relatively expensive, basic model costs only $ 499. In addition, you do not need to buy a new monitor, keyboard or mouse. It is 100% compatible with PC monitors and PC USB keyboards and mice.
But what exactly can be done with this mini computer? Rather! The base model comes with more features than enough for most uses. This is a full-fledged Macintosh, nothing about this little machine, except its physical size.
In this article I will discuss three main uses for the Mac mini. Firstly, I will discuss what Macs are known for, its audio and video. Secondly, I will discuss generally use the Internet as browsing, email and chat. Finally I will talk about word processing. These three are among the most common tasks for most computer users.
Digital Video, Photos and Music
The music has become what Apple is better known. That has not seen one of its iPod music players? The Apple Macintosh comes with iTunes, which lets you play MP3 music and purchase legal copies of songs directly from the iTunes Music Store. Songs cost only ninety-nine cents, and the selection is enormous. If you can attach an iPod to the Macintosh and use directly with iTunes.
The Mac Mini also comes with iMove and iDVD. Both applications enable you to edit and burn their home movies on DVD. However, if you want to burn their own DVDs requires a Mac Mini with the optional DVD recorder, which adds $ 100 a price of the Mac Mini. If you have a digital camcorder can transfer their films directly into the Mac Mini.
From digital video has become very easy with the Macintosh. Just drag video clips together and make a complete movie. If you are like me, your home video includes many scenes where the camera is not indicated where it should be. The video editing software makes it very easy to eliminate such scenes from the movie.
If you have a video camera you can use iPhoto to download and organize their digital photos. The iPhoto application allows you to quickly move your images from your digital camera to your computer. Photos can be organized and printed catalogues.
