How the Mac mini stacks up (literally!)

With the new Mac mini arriving in the office this morning, we couldn't help but wonder how it stacked up against its rivals in the Apple range. However rather than work out how it compared on processor speed or graphics quality, we were more interested in how it physically stacked up against other Apple kit*. Could it still be positioned on top of a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme to maximise space on your desk or under your TV. And just how big is it compared to a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro? Rather than stack up thousands of pounds worth of expensive Apple kit on top of each other, we thought we'd take the safer option and just make a little diagram**...
