Apple Mac mini MC239LL/A Desktop Review
November 7th, 2009
Apple Mac mini MC239LL/A Desktop Review from Paul C Huang Paul Huang. Finally a good value, The previous dual-display-support Mac mini was introduced on 3/3/09. It’s been just half year and it is updated already. Considering that the previous model are essentially identical (2.0GHz) and the 2.25GHz ‘custom made’ model was a $200 option, this is a nice upgrade. With the previous version, the value was in the entry-level model ($599), because the $799 model packs in useless 1GB x 2 and 320GB hard drive, which is practically worthless nowadays, it made sense to buy the entry model and put in the RAM and hard drive.
Now the differences are:
160GB vs 320GB
2GB (1GB x 2) vs 4GB (2GB x 2)
processor is 2.53 vs. 2.25GHz
160GB is all over my floor anyway, so it’s valued at $0.
320GB should be valued at $60
2GB (1GB x 2) = $0, because 1GB modules are all over the floor and worthless.
4GB (2GB x 2) = $80 and on the rise.
When the actual price difference of $200 and the value difference of $140 tossed into the washer, $60 come out of the wash.
This means the 2.53GHz vs 2.25GHz difference is valued at $60. As the added speed is translated into productivity, this $60 difference is well worth it.
