In the second video clip we only have a short unboxing of the new Mac Mini 2011 and nothing more. The owner of the new product claims that the performance is clearly superior to the old model, which is equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
I bought them yesterday, just when they came out, and they arrived 2 hours ago (it's 7PM in Italy). The Mac mini is just like the older model externally, but there is a big difference between the 2 different processors. Even with only 2GB of RAM it goes way faster than the Core 2 Duo equipped with 4 GB, and Lion runs smoothly on it. The MacBook Pro, even if it's the baseline, is faster than them, but it is also equipped with 4GB of ram. The lack of the CD/DVD is not a great idea from Apple (I think). Installing apps like iWork from my old DVD is difficult, because you have to set up DVD sharing from the MBP. I think it is a good deal because of the price drop. The new Mac Mini is good for newbies to the Mac world.
