The NewerTech miniStack has been chosen as our Mac mini accessory of the year. Other finalist included the LaCie mini, Belkin Hub for Mac mini, Pressure Drop zStand, and Plasticsmith miniTower. There are several features that make the miniStack stand out from the crowd including price, quality, functionality, and performance. We also appreciate the number of different configurations offered, software bundle, and two-year warranty. "NewerTech has always put quality and functionality first," said Larry O'Conner, founder of NewerTech. "We are pleased to find this separated the NewerTech miniStack to be above the rest."

The miniStack also won a recent poll in our forums. We asked our members what they thought was the best accessory for the Mac mini released this year. The miniStack won the poll with 57% of the votes. The LaCie mini came in second with 23%, followed by the Belkin Hub for Mac mini with 16%, and Pressure Drop zStand with 2%.

We look forward to seeing what new Mac mini accessories will be released in 2006. From what we hear, there are going to be a few interesting ones!
