Good things come in small packages, and let’s face facts; you don’t get much smaller than the Apple Mac Mini Australia.

This tiny piece of kit comes fitted with a 2GHz Intel Core Duo T2300 processor, 1GB of memory, a 120GB hard drive, an Intel GMA950 graphics card and a dual-layer DVD writer. The chassis itself is still a mere 165mm on each side, with the only discerning difference being a black square on the writer’s slot.

The big difference between the latest mini and the original is the number of ports available.  The latest incarnation features 4 USB ports, a Gigabit Ethernet cable, a Firewire 400 socket, not to mention a DVI-I video connector plus digital in/outs.

The growing demand for Dell computers across the globe has seen sales outside the US grow much faster than expected, according to Dell computers senior executive Steve Felice.

Dell, the world’s second biggest PC maker behind HP, claim world sales will account for as much as 66% of their total revenue within the next 5 years. International sales topped US figures for the first time ever, with worldwide sales generating 73% of the company’s profits in the first quarter.
