    As a basic desktop PC the Mac mini will suffice in most cases. It's like the netbook of the Apple desktop PC range - small and cheap. For those who've already got a monitor, keyboard and mouse, this is the perfect way of switching to a Mac while still keeping the costs down, however if you are about to invest in the whole package then by the time you add a screen, and keyboard you might be better off opting for either an iMac or a MacBook, with the latter of course...

    As an office doc machine, the Mac mini does very well. It takes up very little space on your desk and consumes very little energy. For home use, don’t expect too much when it comes to gaming and forget about Blu-Ray as Apple is yet to take this technology on board. Read more

    In stark contrast to the fanfare surrounding the new iMac (reviewed on page 44), the new Mac mini model has received very little interest. Clearly, Apple could have made a bigger deal about the new Mac minis – thanks to faster Core 2 Duo processors, the latest models walk all over their Intel-based predecessors. Read more

    I got a mac mini thinking that it would make a great heart of a home entertainment system. The size is certainly right for this. Installation and migration (from another mac) was a piece of cake. In fact all I did was connect my vintage macbook and 30 minutes later all my programs (yes!), settings, etc were copied. At home, I am mostly doing email, web browsing, managing my photo collection, and managing my ever increasing audio collection, tasks which the mac is well... Read more

  2. Perfect for Switchers and Home Users

    Reviewer: DealTime UK
    12 June 2009

    Intro Apple's Mac Mini joined their desktop computer product line as somewhat of an oddity. This tiny OS X system was introduced to reign in more 'switchers', who may have been struggling with the premium pricing of the other Mac systems at the time. Without keyboard, monitor, or mouse, the Mac mini let existing PC users take advantage of their own peripheral hardware, further easing the decision to switch. This review will present my experience with my mini and... Read more

    I'm going to be short here. I was unsure if this was the best computer for just under $600.00. As soon as it arrived and was plugged in, my fear subsided. Excellent, efficient, I have a Macbook so was thinking of getting a PC desktop, and now am locked in to Mac for life. They work better and are more intelligently designed. If you don't see a follow up comment 3-6 mos. down the line, I'm still a happy customer. Read more

    The reason I'm giving the Mac Mini only 1 star is this, it's a fantastic home computer, infact I couldn't recommend them high enough. Crash free, virus free, easy to use, starts up in under a minute with excellent operating software... BUT The bloomin' thing doesn't come with a VGA (you know, the one nearly every non mac screen has) to Mini DVI (the one that only mac seem to use). So for £500 or so quid, you get a fantastic pc that doesn't connect to your screen! Come... Read more
