Mac mini(Late 2006)
The most affordable Mac ever.
歴史的背景
The Mac mini represented Apple's first real foray into the low-end consumer market, and Apple's first monitor-less consumer Mac in more than six years. Based around the basic logic board design of the eMac (USB 2.0), the Mac mini packed an impressive feature set into a very small package, just two inches tall and 6.5 inches wide and deep. The Mac mini shipped in two configurations. The low-end 1.25 GHz model, with a 40 GB hard drive, was $499 U.S., while the high-end 1.42 GHz model, with an 80 GB hard drive, was $599 U.S. Both models shipped with 256 MB of RAM. In July 2005, Apple upgraded all models to 512 MB of RAM. It also added AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth. Finally, a higher-end model, which included a 4x SuperDrive, was made available for $699 U.S.
