Mac mini Core Duos Benchmarked

mini picMacworld.com benchmarks the new Mac mini Core Duo line: the 1.83GHz (US$799) and 1.66GHz (US$599) models.

Both of these new Mac mini models are good values, and Apple made an excellent choice in dropping the underpowered Core Solo-based model-the last single-core Mac in Apple's product line. As a budget Mac, a supplemental home computer, a server, or a home media set-top box, the Mac mini's price and size make it an impressively versatile system. If you're a gamer, the Mac mini's integrated graphics system won't be powerful enough for your needs. But for everyone else, the Mac mini remains an excellent system, especially for users with a limited amount of free space or money-or both. [Mac mini Core Duo - Macworld]
