MAC MINI MEMORY 2GB PRO
And instead of using a multi-piece body made of white plastic and aluminum, the new Mac mini adopts the all-aluminum Unibody design of Apple’s current MacBook Pro line.

While still square, the mini is now 7.7 inches to a side but only 1.4 inches tall-almost the exact same size as the Apple TV ( ), but with rounder corners. While every previous mini sported a 6.5- by 6.5- by 2-inch case, the new model slims down, widens out, and gets a makeover. The 2007 model, with its Intel GMA 950 graphics couldn’t even run our Call of Duty 4 test.The most outwardly obvious change to the Mac mini is its new enclosure. And since we test using a minimum of 2GB of memory, we didn’t bother re-running as a reference system the $599 2.0GHz Mac mini ( ) with 1GB RAM released earlier this year.Ĭomparing the new systems to a August 2007 Mac mini with 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM, the new 2.53GHz Mac mini completed all timed tests 36 percent faster than the 2007 model and the new 2.26GHz Mac mini with 2GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM finished the tests in 29 percent less time. The previous $599 model used the same 2GHz processor as the previous $799 model, but came with only 1GB of RAM. With Photoshop times on the new 2.26GHz coming in about 7 percent faster, and Aperture a little more than 5 percent faster. The new 2.26GHz Mac mini was about 7 percent faster overall than the older 2GHz model when tested with the same 2GB of RAM. The new $799 model was 15 percent faster in our Photoshop tests and 16 percent faster in our Aperture tests. We ripped a DVD chapter to the hard drive and opened a 500-page Word document in Pages ’09.-Macworld Lab testing by James Galbraith, Chris Holt and Roman Loyola.Ĭomparing the new $799 Mac mini to the previous $799 model, the 2.0GHz Mac mini ( ) with 2GB of RAM released earlier this year, we see that the new 2.53GHz Mac mini took 16 percent less time to complete all of the timed tasks we ran on it. We ran WorldBench 6 multitasking test on a Parallels VM.
MAC MINI MEMORY 2GB ARCHIVE
We duplicated a 1GB folder, created a Zip archive in the Finder from the two 1GB files and then Unzipped it.
We converted 90 minutes of AAC audio files to MP3 using iTunes’ High Quality setting. In iMovie, we imported a camera archive and exported it to iTunes with the Mobile Devices setting.
We timed the import and thumbnail/preview creation time for 150 photos in Aperture. mov file to the application’s H.264 for video podcast setting. We recorded how long it took to render a scene with multiprocessors in Cinebench. Photoshop’s memory was set to 70 percent and History was set to Minimum. The Photoshop Suite test is a set of 14 scripted tasks using a 50MB file. Reference systems in italics.Ĭall of Duty score is in frames per second. All other tests are timed results where lower times are better. For Call of Duty 4 and MathematicaMark 7, higher scores are better. The $799 model was 11 percent faster in our Cinebench test and 28 percent faster in our iPhoto import test, though, again, a significant part of that performance difference was eliminated when we added the memory to the $599 system.īest results in bold. The 2.53GHz Mac mini was about 9 percent faster in our Photoshop CS4 tests suite than the standard configuration 2.26GHz Mac mini, though adding that additional 2GB of RAM to the $599 model closed the performance gap to around 6 percent. Once we configured the 2.26GHz Mac mini with 4GB of RAM instead of the stock 2GB, we saw that performance benefit of the 2.56GHz Mac mini shrink to about 7.4 percent.
When looking at the time it took to run through all 17 of our timed tests, the new $799 model was 10 percent faster than the $599 2.26GHz Mac mini.
With its considerably faster 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of RAM, it’s no surprise that the new $799 Mac mini was noticeably faster in our tests.

We are still ironing out the details of Speedmark 6, our overall performance benchmark, but we ran a series of 19 different tests on the new Mac minis as well as the systems they replace to let you know how the new and improved specifications affect performance.
