By Digital Trends Staff December 1, 2005

Iomega yesterday announced a new external hard drive geared towards the Apple Mac mini crowd. The Iomega MiniMax Desktop Hard Drive is available now in 160GB ($199.95) and 250GB ($249.95) storage capacity sizes.

The MiniMax, said Iomega, mirrors the look of the Apple Mac mini, coming in at 6.5 inches square and 2 inches tall. Stackable with the Mac Mini, it comes equipped with a three port USB 2.0 hub and a three port FireWire hub. A â€œsmart power switchâ€ allows the drive to stay in sync with Mac mini’s power status and a active/passive cooling system runs very quietly.

“Iomega’s new MiniMax Drive answers the need for style and functionality that Mac Mini users need today,” said Brian Still, Manager of Product and Channel Marketing, Iomega Corporation. “The MiniMax Drive delivers an upgrade in capacity and the additional FireWire and USB hubs that Mac users need to utilize an array of peripherals, and it complements the features of the Mac Mini without drawing attention to itself, making a great computer even better for organizing and protecting digital movies, photography and music.”

Apple may be working on a crazy modular MacBook with 3 screens

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air placed on a desk.

The Framework laptop has shown that modular laptops can offer something really compelling to customers, and it seems that Apple might have taken notice. That’s because a newly granted patent (number 11709527) suggests the Cupertino, California company is considering a modular MacBook that could let you come up with all kinds of crazy combinations of screen, keyboard, and more.

For example, some of the illustrations in Apple’s patent document show a device with two displays, with the MacBook keyboard replaced entirely by a second screen. This display could be used as an Apple Pencil input area or as a virtual keyboard, something we know Apple is already working on.

Want an M3 Max MacBook Pro? There’s a lengthy wait ahead

An Apple MacBook Pro 14 sits open on a table.

If you’ve been holding out for a super-powered MacBook Pro with a high-end M3 Pro or M3 Max chip, you could have a lengthy wait on your hands. That’s because, despite Apple’s plans to launch new Macs later this year, several are reportedly going to miss the cut.

That’s according to journalist Mark Gurman, who claims in a new report that Apple’s flagship 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro models are unlikely to launch until the middle of 2024. Worse, the M3 Mac mini might not see the light of day until late 2024 at the earliest.
