Advantages: Cheap, runs well even with many applications open, much much better than size and price
Disadvantages: Sometimes applications crashes, suddenly turns off when you touch power cord

This Mac mini is for people who want a Mac, but can't afford one. It's about $600, half the price of an iMac. But, unlike the price and the size, it unbelievably works well.

Disadvantages: some programs aren't compatible
