Packing standard-issue Mac apps such as GarageBand, iMovie, Pages, Keynotes and Numbers, the Mac mini offers plenty of built-in options for creative professionals and business users. If you happen to be using the Mac mini somewhere without Wi-Fi, you can use Yosemite's Instant Hotspot feature to get connected via your iPhone. Yosemite introduces a flatter, cleaner, iOS 8-esque aesthetic, with revamped versions at Notification Center, Calendar and Safari that closely mimic their mobile counterparts. I was able to pull up a website on one device and transfer it to the other, and was able to receive and answer my iPhone's calls right from the Mac dashboard. The Handoff feature worked seamlessly in my testing - whenever I started composing a note or message on my iPhone, I immediately saw a prompt on my OS X dock to transfer it to a Mac. With the new Handoff feature, you can start composing a text, email or document on your iOS device and finish it on your Mac (or vice versa) with a single click. The Mac mini ships with Apple's OS X Yosemite, which adds some useful new tweaks to Apple's operating system while allowing your Mac to work seamlessly with your iOS devices.Īs long as your Mac and iPhone or iPad are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (and are logged in to the same iCloud account), you can answer calls and texts from the desktop without reaching for your phone. Apple's computer fell behind the Intel HD 6000-powered NUC (33.57 fps), and mustered less than half of our 54-fps average for all-in-one desktops. The Mac mini registered 22.97 fps on the OpenGL portion of the Cinebench benchmark, which tests a machine's GPU. The NUC notched only 26 fps under the same settings, and both PCs fell to the high teens with the graphics kicked to ultra. Raising and lowering land to enable your people to settle and breed, you gain power from your peoples worship. Tivo or three can justifiably be called classics: one is Populous, in which you really are a god, and, as such, responsible for a warlike people at odds with their neighbours who worship a different god. There have been any number of games released in which you get to lord it over the scumbags on-screen, controlling and toying with their destinies for your own amusement. Od games are so-called because the first time you see the f- number of icons splattered all over the screen you say: God. Informed opinion seems to think that this will all be sorted out in the near future, and that a bumper budget package will be released next year, containing at least some, and possibly all, of the above extras at a low, low price. Theres something of a dispute going on at the moment as to who owns the rights to Sim City, so its not the easiest game to get hold of in its original form. |
