Do you resent your single volume on your Mac? Now here comes good news. New strong apple Mac Mini with fusion Drive automatically and dynamically moves frequently used files to flash storage for quicker access, while infrequently used items move to the hard disk. As a result you'll enjoy shorter start up times, and as the system learns how you work you'll see faster application launches and quicker file access. Fusion Drive manages all this automatically in the background.
With updated Intel's third-generation Core CPUs and a new Fusion hybrid hard-drive option, the new Apple Mac Mini, brings improved value and welcome speediness to the most affordable Mac. The Core i7 chip and 1TB standard hard drive in today’s review model are both useful upgrades over the previous-generation Mac Mini, and the $250 Fusion Drive, while turning our $799 review unit into a $1,049 purchase, offers a mostly noticeable performance improvement.
The Fusion option puts the Mac Mini outside its familiar sub-$1,000 territory, making it either an indulgence, or an appropriate upgrade for those with serious storage needs. Without the drive, the stock $799 model offers a newly invigorated Mac Mini that finally gives Apple a serious competitor to Windows PCs in the same sub-$1,000 price range.
And you may ask: What's the new point of this strong and new Apple Mac Mini. We find a appreciated answer for you.No visual element of the new Mac Mini has changed from the 2011 model, which itself was almost identical to the 2010 version. The only real difference on the outside of the new Mac Mini is that it now has four USB 3.0 ports, where the previous version used USB 2.0.
Perhaps more interesting than the USB upgrade, Apple has preserved the FireWire 800 port and separate audio-out and audio-in jacks on the new Mac Mini. Having purged FireWire 800 from the new iMac, and reduced the audio-outs to a single combined port, the Mac Mini may attract those who need an OS X system with those specific jacks.

The Optimus L9 is the latest addition to the L-series and rightfully takes charge of a lineup that's known for attractive styling and wallet-friendly prices. It obviously made no sense to LG to start from scratch and the L9 is happily reusing bits and parts from nearly all of its fairly recent smartphone siblings. As far as we can tell, it does so rather well and the resulting mix looks like a great balance between price and features.

The LG Optimus L9 has the screen size of the current LG flagship and the qHD resolution is quite reasonable. It's powered by the same chipset as the latest Prada phone while the design is strongly reminiscent of the LG Optimus 4X HD and the Optimus G.

Let's see what else might pop out of the bag.

What we have here clearly isn't the best dual-core chipset on the market, but there's more than enough to keep Ice Cream Sandwich at cruising speed. Well yes, we would've loved to have Jelly Bean but even the flagship is still waiting. In terms of hardware though, the Optimus L9 has a number of advantages over some of its direct competitors.

So, it turns out there's quite a lot to like about the LG Optimus L9. Its key selling point is the big screen, which is rather hard to come by in this price range. Retina levels of pixel density were out of the question - should we say, budget - but qHD doesn't look too bad.

The reasonably powerful hardware, nice looks, and excellent custom user interface are some more good reasons to choose the L9 if you are into big-screened smartphones.

The one thing that might turn a few users away is the disappointing camera performance, though imaging isn't necessarily everyone's top priority. What could be more problematic is LG's poor reputation when it comes to updates. The Optimus L9 delivers soundly out of the box, but it is yet to make (if ever) the Jelly Bean waiting list. After all, there are at least two devices ahead of it in the pecking order and we've barely heard anything constructive about them just yet.

However, the Optimus L9's rather competitive price may make users more forgiving. The Optimus L9 costs about €260 which, as we are about to see, compares quite favorably to most of the direct competitors. In terms of hierarchy, the L9 would've been expected to stand against the likes of the Galaxy Premier, but it's actually way cheaper than even a Galaxy S III mini.

What this means is the Optimus L9 will have a seemingly easier challenge in the face of the Samsung Galaxy S Advance. The two handsets feature similar hardware, the Galaxy making up for its smaller screen with AMOLED technology and more storage. The S Advance might be able to get to Jelly Bean before its LG rival, but unless compact size and portability are a top priority, we'd suggest you side with the L9 here.
