The Mac Attack

Mac mini (from $599)

Have you been thinking about converting your office from PC to an Apple platform, but you aren’t sure how to make the leap? Look no further than this little box with big potential. At a mere 6.5-inch footprint, the Mac mini contains a small, powerfully built CPU that allows you to hook up any monitor, keyboard, and mouse — saving you the trouble and expense of replacing those components from your previous PC set-up. The Mac mini is driven by your choice of the new Solo or Duo Intel Core processor, each offering incredible computing speed while actually consuming less power than previously manufactured models. This revolutionary system architecture is a new way to live your digital life — saving you time, space, and money in the process.

The new 17-inch Macbook Pro (starting at $1,999)

A new laptop doesn’t get much better than this, or pack this big of a punch! Powered by the famed Intel Core Duo processor — nearly five times faster than its predecessor, the PowerBook G4 — and with a built-in iSight camera for instant video conferencing on the move, along with a dazzling array of new applications, your 17-inch Macbook Pro will be the envy of all your traveling companions. Take, for instance, the mind-boggling MagSafe Power Adapter, designed to magnetically guide your power adapter cord into place, yet disconnect smoothly if someone (else) trips over it. And with your very own iPod-like cordless Apple Remote, including circular clickwheel, your out-of-town PowerPoint presentations won’t lose any excitement or sophistication. If you’re looking for a new laptop, look no further than the 17-inch Macbook Pro.

The new iMac (starting at $1,299)

Do you yearn for one computer with the power and hard-drive capacity to manage your personal photos, music, and movies, as well as the applications and processing speed your business requires? Your prayers have been answered. Juggling blazing speed with monumental hard-drive space of up to 500GB, there’s nothing the all new iMac can’t tackle. Coupled with the new ATI Radeon X1600 graphics processor and the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X, the new iMac can handle everything you throw at it — fast. Add Apple’s brilliant new suite of applications, iLife, and you’ll have not only the ability to create and edit music, photos, and movies, but also a trouble-free way to publish them on the Web. The future of personal computing has just arrived.
