Little rad booster
Apple has reinvented the Mac Mini as a portable all-rounder ready to take on all your modern multimedia tasks. But can it compete with the big boys?
Words Craig Grannell
Looks can deceive. Glance at the new Mac Mini and you might think nothing has changed. The form factor echoes the model released a little over four years ago – only decked out in a rather natty shade of space grey.
You might also reason that this smallest of Macs finds itself thrust into irrelevance: a relic of a bygone age, adrift in an era of super-powerful smartphones and tablets, and no longer offered at a price point that’s likely to tempt anyone away from their Windows PC.
