...it cost next to nothing, Apple ask for almost £100. Since owning a Mac, my day to day computing has become so much more efficient. The real credit for that comes down to OS X Leopard, the operating system which all Macs run. I'll quickly run over some of the features which I could no longer live without: Expose: Expose is an unbelievably simple, yet intuitive and incredibly useful feature. It basically spreads out all of the windows you have open ...
...the operating system world, but Apple have nailed it! It allows you to have multiple virtual desktops, or "spaces" to work in. So basically, you can have one space for say personal stuff like email, surfing the web and chatting to mates, another for business use with documents open etc. and then another which has a game playing in it... The number of spaces you create is unlimited and it can be incredibly useful for keeping things organised! You ... Read review

Advantages: Small, Well Equipped & Affordable
Disadvantages: You have to get used to a new Operating System

The most basic of the Apple Mac family, all I can say is WOW! I am a Web Developer and had to do some Mac testing, so bought the cheapest Mac Option at £399, it sat on the shelf unopened for 3 months then one day I needed it. I opened the box, and rigged it all up. To cut a long story short, I now use the Mac Mini as my main computer as it is still far superior to my £1000+ PC equivalent. To sum up the product, it is small and beautiful, yet still ... Read review

...built XPS 420 directly from Dell which contains a 2.40GHz Quad Core processor, 4GB RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 9800GT, and all the other good stuff a computer needs. I ordered it late night on a Sunday, and I had it setup and working by the Thursday. Best of all? Shipping was free! Between pressing the power button and the computer being ready to use, you are looking at around 30 seconds. This includes me entering my password to log on. I see this as ...
...hadn't been for the current Dell offer and a discount code I had at the time. I will admit, I wouldn't have paid £920 for the system, no chance! Since starting the computer for the first time, I haven't had a single problem with it that wasn't caused by a faulty disk or my lack of patience. I would recommend it to anyone, even gamers. ...
