Possibly the best computer known to man
I own one of these Mac Minis and they really are fantastic machines. For a start, I chose a Mac Mini because I wanted a desktop computer but had limited space available. It was ideal. Still to this day I'm baffled how they manage to fit a whole computer in here.
It also has a great spec. that you can check on apple.com and is fully customizable!
As you can see from the image, it is approximately the width of a CD!
Mac v Windows
I made the switch to Mac several years ago when a friend showed me his Mac mini (which previously ran on a PowerPC chip). I loved the machine from that day on.....Don't be worried about the move...Macs are amazingly eacy to use, with plenty of benefits.
-There are very few viruses on mac. -Sorry but the word 'crash' doesn't come under apple vocabulary. -Macs look sexy. End of. -Your mates may get jealous. -There is a huge world of free software ONLY on Mac (freeware). Just take a look at apple downloads section to see what I mean. -You're part of a computer revolution.
I run Tiger 10.4 on my mac, which is a superb OS although if you buy one now, you'll be running Leapord...the most advanced OS in the world!
Spending the dough
If you've got even more money then take a look at the iMac range - yuo get a computer thats built into the screen (not many widows users can say that)
If your a millionaire or a billionaire then get a Mac Pro - with quad core processors - effectively 8 processers in total.
Apple do a lovely range of laptops for those who travel.
The perfect companion for iPod users
All software on Mac's are designed with the iPod in mind. Most have a 'send to iPod option' when you've made movies or other madia.
Overall, this is a 5-star product...you really MUST buy a Mac mini and you'll be delighted!
Advantages: Everything Disadvantages: The mighty mouse takes some getting used to
...I have been a Mac user for the last few years, my first plunge was with a Macmini and this allowed me to try the Apple brand without spending too much money.
I loved the Apple product so much that after 12 months of using the MacMini I went out and bought an iMac 20" 2.16Ghzcore2duo.
I love it!
My macmini had OSX Panther installed and now I have OSX Tiger which has so many little improvements over Panther such as Dashboard - I have my calculator, google mail checker, webcam viewer and other little bits and bobs which all pop up as soon as I press F12. Great touch.
The computer itself is a dream to use. It came with a 250GB hard drive which is almost full now and no slowdown in performance is found.
- The monitor is crisp and clean and the speakers quite powerful.
I have added a small program called "shades" which allows me...

There are those that do, and those that don't. There are those that could but won't. There are those that won't to but can't. And, there are those that don't know any different! It really doesn't matter which group you are in, the recently updated Apple... more
Good Points: - before I rated the old Powerbook from Apple but not yet this little black Macbook. It is "faster", has audio in, wireless internet, a brighter screen, a better power connector and a whole range of excellent software delivered with it. The... more
Before I begin, I warn you that I have a lot to say. I will try to be succinct (as always), but there's a very good chance I'll fail. For your information, I am writing this review on my shiny new Mac! I should also warn you that I have exams starting more
