Mac Mini
The new Mac mini.
Up to 2x faster processors and graphics.*
High-speed Thunderbolt I/O. It’s mini in size only.
Mac mini is even more of a powerhouse, thanks to new dual-core Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, discrete AMD Radeon HD graphics, and ultrafast Thunderbolt technology. It also comes with OS X Lion, the world’s most advanced desktop operating system. And Mac mini with Lion Server now features a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor for incredible performance. But it’s as easy as ever to set up and run.

DVD or CD Sharing |
With the Mac App Store, getting the apps you want on your Mac has never been easier. No more boxes, no more discs, no more time-consuming installation. Click once to download and install any app on your Mac. But if an app you need isn’t available from the Mac App Store, you can use DVD or CD Sharing. This convenient feature of OS X lets you wirelessly “borrow” the optical drive of a nearby Mac or PC. So you can install applications from a DVD or CD and have full access to an optical drive without having to carry one around.
