The just-released Mac mini provides the following compared to the March 2009 version...
- faster clock rate (2.26 GHz vs. 2.0)
- twice the RAM (2 GB vs. 1 GB)
- larger HD (160 GB vs. 120 GB)
- more video RAM (256 MB vs. 128 MB)
...all for the same price.
There is no difference in the GPU (still the Nvidia 9400M).
All true, but there is really not much difference between 2.0 & 2.26
Very easy to add an additional 1gb RAM and by doing so, you get 256MB of video memory. Besides, the price difference between $429 for refurb and $599 for new makes the refurb a much better deal.
However good it is, I can't justify it. I think I will return it to Apple unopened.
