Apple Mac Mini Features
The new version of the Mac mini looks just like the previous iteration the Apple Mac mini . It has the same unibody aluminum chassis, with one glaring difference. There is no longer any slot-loading optical drive, a feature that had been prominent on the Mac mini line since its debut in 2005. Basically, it’s as if Apple is saying “we gave you the iTunes Store, Safari, and the Mac App store online, why would you need an optical drive?” Just like the original iMac dropped the then prominent floppy drive from its desktops, the Mac mini (Thunderbolt) puts a stake in the ground and declares that you don’t need an optical drive anymore. Sure, there have been miniature nettops without optical drives for a while now, like the Giada MiniPC A50 . But the Mac mini is one of the few premium compact desktops without an optical drive.
