| Mac Mini Power Supply Does anyone have an idea how big the Power Supply is of this machine? And how much it weighs? Is it small/light enough to make the Mac Mini an upgraded portable HD? Thanks, Frederik-Jan  |

| There are smaller and less expensive solutions for portable HD.... like iPod :-)

| Yes ... I know, it has a CPU and stuff ... /sigh But in comparison to a portable, it doesn't have a screen that's likely to break, especially if you like playing catch with your computer and were born with two left hands.  But let's say if I'd want to use it as a portable HD with a bit more punch, how is the Power Supply in terms of weight and size? Quote:

| The power supply is built in, it has a cable to plug into it. Weight - 2.9lbs This isn't something you just carry for your reasons. You need a monitor, keyboard and mouse to boot it and set it up.

| Okies, got the answer then: Then Power Supply of the Mini is external. Compareable to the Cinema Display power supplies or exactly like them, not entirely sure. I was told it was roughly 30% bigger than a deck of cards, and smaller than the power supply of an old Powerbook 5300 so that's not bit at all. Bigger than the power supply of a new Powerbook though. |
