[4pikman]

Do you have everything mac?

[gurra043]

8:00 Intro!!!!!!

[MobileRingTones4Free]

Does it cost money to upgrade the RAM? If yes how much?

[294crazy]

does it work with a pc mouse?

[Christblackwell]

Very nice review thanks for posting.

[sunwooper]

For all those who are asking, a Mac mini is just a small computer.

[arrowhead474]

the macbook air is WAY thinner than the mac mini 1

[kamil1998kamil]

So... It could actually be used like a full mac?

[gregorythegreatest15]

its like a modem beautyfull does this play pc games???

[MrBarrbapapa]

Great review, i would like to see apple upgrading their video cards to DDR5s for the mac mini

[MrOrbitz89]

@MrBarrbapapa Well now that you mention it, the $799 2011 Mac Mini has a dedicated AMD 6630m Gpu with 256mb of GDDR5 memory. I'm not sure if that's what you meant but i thought i'd point it out.

[bleh151]

Super Drive aka. CD ROM drive

[xboxps2pspps3]

whats a mac mini??

[daileysnipes]

please tell me what that is used for

[Marcel3540]

why is the macmini 2010 better than the new? i mean, the 2010 has 2,4GHz, 2GB RAM ( i can turn it to 8!!!)

can i turn it on my (2011) to 8GB RAM too??

[MrBigaz132]

Whats the mac mini for? Im sorry not a...um...Apple guy so like i seriously dont know...

[D3tmanamaps]

@MrBigaz132 The Mac Mini is a full-fledged computer. He does not have as much power and is therefore determined for office work... :D

[jhood1919]

I just bought one from best buy for $155 after gift cards I'm pretty excited about it

[maccollectorZ]

@SybowLikesXbox It works with all USB keyboards and mice, but it doesn't use VGA for a monitor, it uses a mini-display cable of some sort. You would need an adapter.

[youbeat2008]

Max HDD: 500 MB. That's what a mobile device sees.

[ToasterShow]

is the mac mini good for the future because i hav won a mac mini june 2010 ???

[justibisnotfag]

@ToasterShow won? or u think u'll win?

[Techmaster1O1]

HDD upgradable to "500MB"

[justibisnotfag]

@Techmaster1O1 hahaha

[TheMaxvids1]

@OFCfaithtower The DVD drive doesn't come with the mac mini unless it's built into them already but yes, if your mac mini doesn't have one then you need an external drive

[TheMaxvids1]

@OFCfaithtower You might have to buy an external DVD drive

[TheMaxvids1]

Is the fact that it's fast fo it's size matters from a regular pc that does'nt bother me but still has some locating issues?

[StinkyPoop1000]

Does it have a cd/dvd port?

[xXJOEYKICKASSXx]

Augg

[xXJOEYKICKASSXx]

Yes

[misterK586]

if i have only a pc screen,if i buy a mac mini, does it works on it? like any pc monitor..

thanks :)

[animefan419]

@misterK586 you have to get an adapter

[ir0n2541]

that long black slot infront, is that a cd slot ? because i dont see it on the mini mac's that are on the apple store now.

[iPhoneTipster]

@ir0n2541 2011 mac mini's don't have it

[Tajitsu27]

BRAVO!!!



[CoolHeal20]

does this have wi fi

[AnySub]

by the way, very good unboxing :)

[AnySub]

It's so expensive outside US/UK :(

Here ( Israel ) it costs about 850 bucks :(

[ljohnsonljohnson9423]

Should i get the new 2011 model for $599 or a refurbished 2010 model for $469 please reply

[BasicCompTutorials]

Wow I didn't know the old apple tv box is so much bigger than the other one!. the new ones about 2 inches all the way around!

[jacobduffney11]

Can it be on a monitor?

[Umbra360]

This has the exact same specs as my school Macbook :)

[CWCandMRSAFETYRULES]

are people retarded? of course its a computer lol.

[Melhem97]

Stupid and Useless WTF (Soon Mactini)

[Ark1406]

it took me a year to fine out it's a computer....

[JCH34DR1PP3RCJ]

@Ark1406 haha same

[MizlFINl]

8:20 FINLAND YEAH!! :DDDD Tervetuloa-Welcome

[drwholive]

Thank you I never new what it was supposed to be

[SLVN123]

LMFAO i feel soooo stupid. I never got what this mini thing was, but its just a computer?! lol

[Sparkman06]

what does it do is it a laptop or somethimg

[GibsonSGlenn]

hey,

thanks for video

i'm gonna buy a mac mini for garageband mostly because i play guitar (music)

do you think it's a good idea?

-Glenn

[DetroitBORG]

@mate0pticar Yes!

[MILeyBERs]

@DetroitBORG is macmini the cpu in pc?

[idmt23]

@MILeyBERs Yes.

[MILeyBERs]

@idmt23 ty for replying 2 more questions is it faster than cpu of pc? and is it faster for gaming?:D btw i subbed:D

[idmt23]

@MILeyBERs Sorry but I don't have a mac mini but the speed of the cpu depends on the processor and the hard drive. So if you are gonna buy a mac mini, an Intel Core-i5 Processor or Core-i7 Processor works well and also use SSD for the the hard drive for the gaming, get the AMD Radeon Graphics card. I hope this helps. BTW, are you from the Philippines? Because if you are, that'd be pretty cool because I'm from the Philippines too. :)

[biscuitbot1]

@DetroitBORG so can it be on a laptop

[DetroitBORG]

@SybowLikesXbox Yes to all of that. 

[JUSTADDCHEESE]

Did you use the Mac mini to produce this video?

[DetroitBORG]

@JUSTADDCHEESE No, I used an iMac. But you certainly can do the same on a mini.

[JUSTADDCHEESE]

@DetroitBORG is it practicly a mac? like does it come with all of the same programs such as photo booth imovie iphoto things like that?

[oozekip]

i love how most manufacturers consider 4GB's a lot, 16GB's FTW!

[TheSgozzo]

I don't get what the Mac mini and apple tv do

[KIZZA3D]

god i cant wait to get this. Im saving up to get one , i need £300 or what ever dollars

[mstrx21]

@KIZZA3D what are you going to be doing with it.just saying. buying all your parts seperatly is much more affordable.because if your gonna play games,its probably gonna crash.the mac mini,of course.

[KIZZA3D]

@mstrx21 i would probably use it for small games and well editing.

[mstrx21]

@KIZZA3D what games?and what kind of editing software.depending on the games and editing,you might expirience crashes with this.

[SpectWolf]

so for example i can just get the mac mini and connect to my tv, add the logitch Mouse+keyboard combo and then just use my tv as a computer? plz reply

[tuxcup]

Which Mac is best?

[DetroitBORG]

@tuxcup iMac is the best value IMO.

[maccollectorZ]

@tuxcup The best mac is a fully loaded Mac Pro... Not to be confused with Macbook Pro.

[WinnebagoGamers]

do these things break down easy because i am thinking about getting one

[DetroitBORG]

@WinnebagoGamers Not really, you can YouTube some tear downs on the mini and decide for yourself, but I wouldn't consider changing the HDD an easy task.

[TrueDesireHD]

@DetroitBORG

im used to mech with ordinary PC laptops, so I just have to ask, if I want to do ANY upgrade, ram etc.

does it have to be MAC certified?

I have lots of ram laying around aswell as HDDs...

short question , MAC certification needed for components or not?

[Josh1223334444]

2:54 it looks like he drops it on the table because of the editing. Haha. :)

[samguerra100]

badass love technology

[xxladybug94]

just heard that my work is getting these. (volunteer work for homework help)

to be honest, i had no idea what it was, i thought is was a laptop but it's just the hard drive?

[raquaza37]

the like/dislike bar looks like a cigarette

[zmauro]

@raquaza37 When did you quit smoking? You are seeing cigarettes everywhere!

[TbMassacre2]

Would I get this + buy Lion, or will I get the 2011 one and get the external cd/dvd drive? Because I really don't like the way it doesn't let you put a cd into the mac mini itself :(

[franklasa]

Hey, would the protools programme run fine in this?

[conzay755]

Is the mac mini a cheeper apple tower

[iLimeMoose]

@conzay755 yes, but you lose a lot of the power. If you are looking to do gaming/processor intensive tasks, go with the iMac

[dancefreak1019]

i just tured twelve and i got an macbook pro 13 inch for my b-day

never expected it XD

[sirable1]

Can I use this with a VGA display monitor? Got the acer monitor in 07'

[MIKETPRODUCTIONS]

srry didint wach the whole video before commenting

[MIKETPRODUCTIONS]

[lucarox123]

@MIKETPRODUCTIONS Yes

[sandlinful]

[semyuel]

i bet you that you make this video using iMovie dont you? lol

[ThDComputer]

[spongebobworldonline]

So you connect it to your tv?

[nop2lol]

[aisback1990]

@nop2lol

[DetroitBORG]

@aisback1990 I have a video on that ;)

[aisback1990]

@DetroitBORG

i know i've seen it im not an apple fan but i love whats been done to the mac mini,and love your videos 

[owenloftus1]

What is a mac mini???

[DetroitBORG]

@owenloftus1 It's a desktop computer, just add your own display, keyboard, and mouse.

[5starminus2]

would this be good for 3d gaming

[DetroitBORG]

@5starminus2 It's surprisingly good, but you won't get great gaming out of integrated graphics.

[picklemancan]

Im thinking about getting the regular mac mini, what HDMI cable should i get, I like to play games online, and ive been getting mixed reviews, what do you think i should get?

[FrosChannel]

Buy the RAM yourself, its cheaper.

[itsalongstory9981]

How do I connect this to LED Cinema Desplay?

[DetroitBORG]

@itsalongstory9981 Use the display port.

[1MiaMusic]

this may sound stupid... but is that a laptop XD??

[barf245]

@1MiaMusic desktop computer

[ramji2]

will u give this i away i would really appreciate this

i cant afford this please yes so i can have a chance

[bukiboy3]

do u need to charge the mac mini?

[956Joeboy]

hey does core 2 duo mean thes 2 cores becuase it says core 2?

[MrVinney96]

@956Joeboy yep, there are 2 cores inside.

[Jeeves441]

Is this good for iOS app developing

[BlingBling826]

wtf is this thing???

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@BlingBling826 It says in the title... A Mac Mini...

[BlingBling826]

@WeAreTwoDoorsDown Yeah but what does it do???

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@BlingBling826 It's a computer. More specifically a Mac computer.

[BlingBling826]

@WeAreTwoDoorsDown Oh now I feel stupid...

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@BlingBling826 Don't... It's kinda odd to think that something that small is probably as powerful as what your using now.

[BlingBling826]

@WeAreTwoDoorsDown Yeah its so small!

[ReviewAppleStuff]

is it good for doing video stuff?

[EMOELMO9001]

6:21 thats nothing compared to the 360 power brick

[dannyhoang29]

what dose it do

[directing101]

do you have to have the wireless apple mouse & keyboard 4 set up or can u use a regular wired/wireless

[TidusDX]

Im concidering getting one of these for my first ever Mac. I'd probably use it mostly as a VPN media server, also getting to grips how to use OSX for the first time. (and putting windows on it as well). Would anyone have any recommendations/advice on this?

[jaimelavinv]

perfect video, but ... this machine have a microphone entrance ?

PLEASE HELP !!!

[TheTalin76]

Does the Mac mini blend?

[Boyengetsu]

As with everything Mac, overpriced, in my opinion. The same specs as my laptop, but more than double the cost.

[Eldeeff]

@Boyengetsu Yeah but it all comes down to size and weight. If you were in a life threatening situation where you had to hit an object over 10 meters away, the Mac Mini would take the cake.

[Boyengetsu]

@Eldeeff But if I really needed to smash a walnut, the small size and weight would be a disadvantage!

[Eldeeff]

@Boyengetsu I completely understand. That IS a pricey nut cracker!

[MAYTHEDARKRISE]

Omg....This is AWESOME! i always wanted a mac but my mom said no its to expensive and i JUST found out about this and my mom said i can buy it on my Bday! WOOOO

[MRIYBR]

Amazing this thing. I did not even know it exists! Wow! So creative.

[Mreven001]

this is on my birthday

[minecraftnoob2000]

is it worth the money

[legomaniac225]

@minecraftnoob2000 the mini mac itself? yes. the upgrades? no.

if you are confident in your ability to do so it is much cheaper to upgrade it yourself

[minecraftnoob2000]

@legomaniac225 thanks 

[legomaniac225]

@minecraftnoob2000 no problem

[UniSkibum]

how would you setup sorround sound speakers with only 1 audio jack and 1 mic jack as opposed to what you would find on most other pcs. Also are you using this to stream media?

[PerseusXT]

This may be a stupid question, but can the snow leopard software update like get the mac appstore and stuff?

[somedayuni]

does mac mini support 5.1 surround when plugging into system?

[tg1198]

can u use an external hard drive on the mac mini

[UniSkibum]

@tg1198 yes via the USB or firewire port

[plung3r]

if i was the CEO of apple or samsung i wouldve made video game consoles

[aguythatlikesipods]

Upgradable to 500mb?

[LAZZZYSPICE]

how do you hook up a regular say HP mouse?

[darkaether121]

no apple stickers? =[

[eclipsetuner99]

@darkaether121 thats the best part too

[SLlCEmyBREAD]

Hi did it say on the back of the box that it is a built in airport extreme? If so, does this mean that my ipad and MacBook can connect to this wifi?

[chica476]

only 320 gigs? I can get a pc with a TERAbyte of storage, key board, mouse, and screen for around a $1000...

why should I use a Mac?

[cpbowler4]

If you use the hdmi out on a tv, will sound come through the tv speakers as well or do you need separate speakers?

[KeeperOfTheBeans]

Can it run CS5

[vaneztax]

I am drooling for it, what a beautiful product.

[BrotherLord73]

I want to know what is games like portal 1 & 2 in steam in mini Mac performance? But can't use watch blu-ray is disappoint. I love to buy one what in steam like the game?

[xxKxNxIxGxHxTxx]

so.... if i hook this up to my tv is it basically a mac computer... just not as high tech so the others?

[6harvard]

is the speaker on the mini loud

[DetroitBORG]

@6harvard No, it's very quiet, it's suitable in a pinch, but you want a separate speaker set.

[6harvard]

do you need anything for your sound

[snipes7054]

does the mac mini have wifi?

[DetroitBORG]

@snipes7054 Yes, it has built-in 802.11n support.

[mackid2011]

@DetroitBORG Can I use the Mac Mini as a hot spot for my psp 3000?

[KillaSpleek]

@snipes7054 y mac mini have wifi

[benjaminkate123]

i wanna eat mac donald

[benjaminkate123]

how much is that

[DetroitBORG]

@benjaminkate123 $799 with the RAM upgrade.

[benjaminkate123]

@DetroitBORG :expensive

[nicknoel27]

@DetroitBORG is this computer a good source for video editing?

[kicked123456]

is your house an apple

[DetroitBORG]

@kicked123456 LOL

[TheNick1669]

I typed this useing my new computer, I got the mac mini after watching this video. This guy inspired me! Thumbs up if you agree!!!

[DetroitBORG]

@TheNick1669 Glad to hear it, thanks!

[Forzabarca]

When i meant tv. I meant lcd full hd 1080p with hdmi cable would it look sharp or should i just pay the extra for imac. I will only be using for websurfing and multimedia.

[DetroitBORG]

@Forzabarca The resolution on the iMac is much higher than a 1080p TV so I would encourage the later option, especially since you also get much better computing hardware. 

[Forzabarca]

Would you recomment this for my lcd wall mount tv or an imac.?

[DetroitBORG]

@Forzabarca I wouldn't recommend using a TV as a computer monitor since resolution is too low on the TV. I would HIGHLY recommend an iMac.

[OhayYou]

I love my Mac Mini. It's great. :3 But I also love my PC.
