They range from simple dongle-sized mini-computers on a stick, to hard-core (but compact) HTPCs capable of high-end gaming. The ‘stick' PCs are typically low-end hardware on a tiny device that can plug directly into an HDMI port. They are ready to go and...

It may not be cheap, but in terms of design it's great. The new Mac Mini 2014 uses the same chassis as its predecessor, so it gets no complaints from us there. Encased in a 36mm thick aluminium unibody chassis, it's a sleek and elegant system. The Mini is...

Apple refreshed the Mac mini range in October 2014, causing a stir in the process by releasing models that were slower than the previous 2012 generation that they replaced. That's what we found when comparing the best of 2012 against the best of today, wi...

While the entry-level Mac mini (Late 2014) is priced attractively at £399, it would benefit from a memory upgrade at least to 8 GB, especially since this upgrade will never be possible later. By then comparing this upgraded cheapest model at £479 to the m...

The Mac mini is perhaps the least celebrated of the Apple Mac family. The iMac cuts its desktop swathe with luscious design and, recently, that 5K resolution panel has made it the all-in-one to beat. On the portable front, the MacBook Air remains one of...

The Mac Mini is a machine I half expected Apple to quietly drop. The decline of the desktop personal computer business in general, and the fact that you'll never see a Mac Mini as a prominent piece of product placement, means this miniature micro is unli...
