The price of the Mac mini dropped by 100 Euro in average in most European Apple Store. It went from 799 Euro for the basic model to 699 Euro, “even though it remains much too high to really compete with other similar small box PC,” says “HardMac” (http://www.hardmac.com).

Apple’s smallest desktop Mac was updated in June. It features up to twice the graphics performance, a new HDMI port and a new SD card slot, all in an aluminum enclosure. Pricing starts at US$699 in the United States.
