Following on from the other Intel machines announced previously, Apple have just launched a new version of the Mac mini with an Intel Core processor, giving it, they say, a performance up to four times faster than its predecessor.
There are two new machines - one with a 1.5GHz Intel Core Solo processor, 60GB SATA hard drive and Combo drive, the other with a 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 80GB hard drive and Super drive. Both models feature four USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire port, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well as digital optical and analog audio in/out.
