Assuming you have an Apple keyboard. The Logitech they show in the picture still requires 2 USB ports.

Microsoft and Logitech's higher end models also have built in USB. If you're so worried, just look for them, between the three companies you're looking at the only 'good' keyboards and mice on the market.

But why do you need a screen?? I always use the "shuffle" on my iPod mini, hardly ever look at the screen except to check battery levels.

That's just an excuse to support Apple. You need a screen to see what is playing now - what if I want to listen to particular song... I admit I use shuffle sometimes, but most of the time - skip through to the song I want to listen. :pp

Depends which screen/keyboard and mouse you get :)

So, at the end of the line, it's probably the same as buying a full mac? Thought so. Cheers for the info.

I am not real familiar with macs.  Can you hook this mini mac up to a monitor I use for the pc, or does it have to be "apple compatible"?

I just found the belkin kvm on the apple store, I guess that answers my question.

Your PC monitor is most likely VGA, and the monitor port on all new Macs are DVI, all you need is a converter, google "DVI to VGA".

They are standard DVI and VGA ports, so yes

You only need a KVM if you want to run 2 computers on one monitor.

Look, I don't care. But if Apple was marketing this to people who are going from a PC to a Mac, most don't have keyboards with USB on them. Most have at least 2 other USB devices, and no use for firewire. If all Apple wants people to worry about is the cost of the box itself, I think there should have been so more USB ports. My two cents.

You don't need a screen to know what song is playing. Presumably you have ears? Listen to the music. Your brain makes a connection and you know what song is playing from the lyrics, the instruments, the tune, etc, etc. No screen needed.

Anyway, for ?69 (UK price for the smaller capacity one) you can't really complain about the lack of a screen.

I'm waiting for Apple to get rid of CRT completely and focus on enhancing their Studio Displays. I'm also holding my breathe for Apple Plasma Displays *Wink, wink*

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By spacelordmaster · Posted

      Who uses Outlook anymore? Seriously. When you have open-source and completely free clients such as Thunderbird, Outlook is really obsolete now.

      "Low price of just $340" ? I don't think so, especially when these same memories were less than $100 just last year before the AI craze started.
    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
