My friends always said to me that I should get an apple computer, but stubbornly I always resisted as I thought I should stick to what I know. That was until I used an apple mac.

This mini core duo is an inexpensive way to get onto the apple ladder, and you wont be disappointed. Straight out of the box, it looks very stylish and would compliment any home cinema or music system. For such a small unit, the apple packs quite a punch, with ports such as USB and ethernet, wi-fi and bluetooth, as well as a remote control, the apple wont leave you wanting.

Whats more, one of the most positive things about apples is that most of the inside is made by apple, unlike in PC's where everything is thrown together and hoped that it works. Apple seems to just work like a PC doesn't.

It's not perfect though. The sheer size of it means that it will be very hard to upgrade, and I have read that there is some poor image processing.

I am not saying this mac will play the latest games with ease, or allow numerous movie editing, but if your looking for a second computer for entertainment purposes, then look no further.
