How to get the 1.5GHz Mac Mini?

I read that Apple boosted the speed and RAM on the Mini, but made no official announcement about it. Is there any way of guaranteeing getting the upgraded model -- serial numbers, anything like that? Any info is appreciated!

It's true that the moderators are likely to lock this thread as they have with previous discussion of the 'over specced' minis, but it's also true that Apple have fomally announced that 'some' minis were being sold that would exceed the specifications marked on the box, so as much as the question doesn't meet the standard for technical discussion, it is one that has some legitimacy for a person considering the purchase of a Mac mini at the present time.
The problem is that there is no way to be assured of getting one of the over-specified units short of finding a dealer who will allow you to examine the unit and test it. It'll soon be apparent if it's an over-specced one by looking at the system profiler.
What is a more interesting question I think is exactl;y what is the performanxce difference between a standard mini and one of the over-specced ones?! Anyone with such a system got any benchmarks to share?

    Can someone here help me?Hi,
    What is the problem you are having? Is it deriving the session key from the static key? Which secure channel protocol are you trying to use?

  • Apple and the1.5GHz Mac mini (2005)

    Does anyone know why Apple hasn't officially told customers about the 1.5GHz Mac mini (G4) until they find out about it themselves by buying a Mac mini "1.42GHz" and discovering that it is actually 1.5GHz. Has Apple ever mentioned a 1.5GHz Mac mini (2005)?
    Apple Mac mini (2005)   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   PowerMac10,2: 1.5GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, BT/AE...

    Hi Nick,
    Apple has,
    Hope you appreciate this, it took a while to dig it out.
    Macworld December 2005 page 26 News In Brief:
    "Apple Secretly Bumps Up Mac Mini"
    "In response to reports on the internet that some users who purchased a 1.42 GHz Mac Mini received a 1.5 GHz system instead. Apple confirmed that "some Mac Mini systems may contain components that slightly exceed the published specifications. There are no changes to the published specifications or part numbers." "
    FYI We got a 1.5GHz Mini at the beginning of November '05
    Take Care,

  • How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini

    How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

  • I have an iPOD mini library and now have a IPhone 4S.  I updated my library and synced my phone to the library but can not figure out how to get the music library to download to my  iphone

    I have an iPod mini library which I have update. I now have an iPhone 4S which I have synced to the library using a MS XP computer. I can not figure out how to get the library to download to my iPhone?

    Thanks,  This caused me to go back and try again since the solution seemed so simple.  What I did was when it started downloading, it started with the iphones apps to my computer.  I did not want the apps downloaded on my computer so I stopped it.  If I would have waited, the music was uploaded right after the apps were downloaded.

  • How do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt display

    how do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt displa,  It arrives tomorrow?

    It has a built-in Thunderbolt cable, see here: http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
    So assuming your mini has a thunderbolt port (you said it's new so I assume it does), you'd just plug the display's thunderbolt cable into the mini's Thunderbolt port.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

    Hi Bruce,
    Out from what I can find on this network card is it not possible to get the mac address without a OS. I would recommend you to get/burn a Linux/Ubuntu live CD/DVD and run a Ifconfig in there.
    Hope it helps you.

    How do I pair a new Mac mini (out of the box) to a Logitech keyboard.
    According to the help desk it is not possible you need an Apple keyboard to complete the task this does not seem right as it states on the Apple website that the products can be mixed and matched.
    Help?????.

    SYSTEM PREFERENCES>Blutooth
    Add New device by clicking "+"
    Turn keyboard into discoverable mode
    If it shows up add it, if not you may need drivers from logitec

  • HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.
