Is Apple’s iMac Mini a good deal?
Apple released their new iMac Mini this week, which without keyboard, mouse and monitor is selling for $499 in its base config. For that you get:
- 1.25GHz G4 processor
- 256MB of RAM
- 40GB hard drive
- combo CD burner and DVD-ROM drive
- ATI Radeon 9200 graphics chip (32MB)
- FireWire port
- 2 USB
- Ethernet
- a modem
- digital and analog outputs for connecting a monitor
This seems like a good deal, and compared to other Macs, this probably is a good deal. However compared to a similarly featured PC, you could still probably get a PC for cheaper. But if you want an entry level Mac, then this is definitely the one to get. Plus compared to PCs, this is definitely pretty cool looking 🙂
