While marketed as a desktop for college students, this Mac is really a great option for any type of user. It's so small that it barely takes up any space on dorm room desks or office. If you are looking for something that combines the performance of a desktop with the compactness of a laptop, the Apple Mac mini MGEQ2LL/A is definitely a great choice.
The powerful components inside of the small tower all work together to boost performance. Everything runs on the Mac OS X, which is designed with streamlined controls to make navigation through the applications easy.
This mini tower weighs no more than a lightweight notebook at just 2.65-lbs. It is 1.4-inches in height, 7.8 inches in depth, and 7.8 inches in width. Since it comes with 802.11 ac wi-fi, no physical connection is required to get internet access on the MGEQ2LL/A.
A 1TB Fusion Drive comes standard on this model. It combines a SATA hard drive with a fast PCi-e based flash solution. It's faster than the typical SATA, yet still slower than a flash drive. For most users, it will be sufficiently fast, due to its ability to launch frequently used applications almost immediately, as the files you use the most will be top priority. Resources aren't wasted on rarely used programs and data.
The Intel Iris graphics are proof that the PC can be used for more than just academic purposes. You can watch videos and movies in your free time or even play a few games.
