Apple Mac mini (MB138LL/A) Desktop

Pros: Cheap small Clean Windows compatible

Cons: No mouse, keyboard or monitor Needs more RAM

The Bottom Line: I would buy it again!

Review: I have a large monitor that my Dell couldn't support. I have been thinking of moving towards a Mac for some time. The viruses were killing me. Then I noticed that the Mac Mini could drive a monitor at 1920x1280! So I took the plung I bought a new Mac ...

Pros: Price, performance, design, OSX 10 . 5, Windows with Bootcamp, HTPC, remote control

Cons: Limited upgradability

The Bottom Line: This is a great inexpensive computer that wont crash all the time like a Windows machine or be unusable because it's obsolete in a year

Review: I recently upgrade from a 1.5Ghz G4 stealth upgrade Mac Mini to the Core 2 Duo 1.83 Ghz mini and I am very impressed with the performance improvements. With Xbench the Core 2 Duo was approximately twice as fast as the G4 on many tests. The Mac Mini has ...

Pros: Everything you'd expect from an Apple at a great price!

Cons: The 1.83 processor only slows down when under significant loads.

Pros: Small, Light, QUIET, Reasonably fast and stable

Cons: Not user-upgradable, can be slow under heavy load

The Bottom Line: An excellent media PC. Great for users who want more capability on their HDTV than what Apple TV offers.

Review: I broke down and bought a Mac a week ago. I wanted a good media center to go along with my new HDTV, and I really didn't want to deal with Vista. I also wanted something that was small and silent. Despite it's lack of DVR function, the Mac Mini fit the ...

Pros: Great wireless, size, quiet, Apple Geniuses/Stores,

Cons: Cost, underpowered, tiny HD, not user-upgradable, applecare costs

The Bottom Line: Not for everyone.  Better have $$$ to get addons so it actually works for you.  Good for artists/musicians, but not business. 

Review: When my custom-built PC finally fried its old top-of-the-line MOBO, I looked a round and tried a new quad core with Vista.  Need I say more?Two machine returns later, my son and I both noticed that you can run Windows XP on Leopard.  So we ...
