Many people want to own Apple’s products because it is extremely beautiful. However, cost of Apple product is too high example MacBook Pro’s price starts at about 1300 usd, iMac is from 1099 usd or Mac Pro is sold at 2999 usd for lowest configuration… apple frequently offers product’s prices which could make anyone overwhelmed when they see it first time (if someone is not overwhelmed, maybe he/ she is very rich). But Apple seems not to forget “poor fans” of it, it offers an entry level product for someone wants to experience Mac OS though his wallet is not full of money, iMac mini. You just have to pay from 499 usd for a standard iMac mini, its price is very attractive and will make Mac’s fans happy so much.

DESIGN

iMac mini 2014 has not big changes compared to iMac mini 2012, it still looks small and charming. Its size is 7 inches length (19.7 cm) x 7 inches width (19.7 cm) x 1.4 inches height (3.6 cm), weight is 2.6 pounds (about 1.2 kg). This is a very small size if you compare it to PC’s cases, it is also very light and you can bring it to anywhere easily. You can bring it to workplace to do office works, end of working day, you can bring it to home to do personal things like doing the rest of office works, entertainment, designing…it is designed to help you can use your computer more efficient and convenient.

Beside that, iMac mini is very charming, it looks like a square with length and width are the same, but Apple makes corners curved to help it eliminate the rigidity of square. Apple also uses sleek aluminum to create iMac mini’s case. This stuff help iMac mini look not only luxury but also solid. Each case’s details are built by special computer numberical control machines – CNC, as the CNC machines were used to build details of spaceships, to guarantee that every detail are produced with highest quality and precision.

Although iMac mini is quite small, but Apple integrated many ports into it including a HDMI, 2 thunderbolts, 4 usb 3.0, an Ethernet, a SDXC cardslot and audio in and out. These ports are arranged very well, very logically, users can connect their iMac mini to many other devices like HD monitors, HDTV, keyboards from non – Apple producers…

ENERGY SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

iMac mini uses many equipment which comsume low energy like Haswell processors, the latest processor generation of Intel. Moreover, its Mac OSX will adjust the performance of hardware to save energy when it is unnecessary. As a result, at ideal status, iMac mini just needs 6 watts to perform, it is an impressive energy comsumption.

Apple does not use plastics to build iMac mini, it just uses aluminium, a recyclable material, so it can help protect the environment better.

PERFORMANCE

Apple offers many options for iMac mini, at price of 499 usd, you will have a standard configuration with Intel core i5 1.4 GHz dual – core, 500 GB internal storage and 4 GB Ram, if you want stronger configurations, you can choose 8 or 16 GB Ram for standard version or choose higher version with Intel core i5 2.6 GHz or 2.8 GHz, 8 or 16 GB Ram and 1 TB internal storage, of course the prices are also higher, at 699 and 999 usd. These configurations guarantee strong performances for iMac mini. Moreover, Apple has always gathered together compatible details to build products which details could run its highest performance. iMac mini 2014 is an excellent example for this philosophy. Its configuration is good, but its performance is excellent, beyond my imagination. A good configuration usually performs well, a very good configuration runs excellently, it is usual, but when a good configuration can run excellently, it is unusual and we should praise the builders who built it, they did very good job. iMac mini performs very fast, you run many tasks but it still run stably, the graphics displays beautifully even though it just uses onboard graphic card Intel HD 5000. When you compare it to iMac mini 2012, it runs 1.9 times on X – plane 10 test, 1.5 times on Star Craft 2 test or 1.2 times on Portal 2 test faster than its predecessor.

All your entertaining demands like playing videos, watching HD movies, images… will be fulfilled by iMac mini, it can serve you with 5 stars standard.

However, there are a problem with iMac mini’s hardware, its Ram is unupgradable, it means you choose 4 GB Ram, you just use 4 GB, you cannot add more Ram after buying it. So you should predict your demand of using Ram to choose a fit Ram.

OPERATING SYSTEM AND SOFTWARE

When you buy an Apple’s product, you also own its amazing Operating System and software. First, you have Yosemite, the latest Mac OSX version, it is not only beautiful when you see it but also very easy to use. The compatibility of Yosemite with iOS – run devices like iPhone, iPad, Apple watch is very good, you just need to let these devices contact each others, it will recognize the rest devices fast.

Apple also gives you many its famous software, you will feel happy with Apple’s Office suite including Pages, Numbers and Keynote, it is very helpful when you do office works. Notes, Mail, Contacts, Reminders are free and useful software integrated into Yosemite. Apple had created these software very well, the customers are really satisfied about it. If you use windows – run computers, maybe you cannot have free software that have the same functions, you have to pay much money for it, example, you must pay hundreds of dollars for a copy of Microsoft’s office suite.

Apple seems to know the software which their customers need and it gives their customers these software free, it is absolutely a wonderful policy.
