几天前，苹果曾经向很多媒体发出了邀请函，但是当时并没有说明发布什么产品，很多人纷纷猜测苹果的新品将会是采用了英特尔处理器的Mac mini，而结果正是如此，在iMac和MacBook Pro跨入英特尔阵营后，苹果另一个标志性产品Mac mini也步入了英特尔阵营。
昨晚苹果正式发布了自己的两款新品：一款是选用intel Core Duo新款处理器架构设计的Mac mini电脑产品，另一款则是配合iPod使用的桌面袖珍音响系统：iPod Hi-Fi，今天上午日本东京秋叶原的苹果展示店里就已经同期开始上柜展示销售，看来日本的消费者真的很幸福，作为全球消费能力最强的IT市场，新品最早出现在日本市场的确也是情理之中的事情。
新款的Mac mini在外观上与前一代产品没有分别，只是内部IBM处理器换成了英特尔处理器，新款Mac mini将有599美元和799美元两个型号，其中低端产品采用了英特尔Core Solo处理器，而高端产品则是双核心的Core Duo处理器。
两个版本的Mac mini新品分别选用Intel Core Solo 1.5GHz和Core Duo 1.66GHz处理器
