Small, Cheap but Powerful!
Review of Apple Mac mini Core 2 Duo 2 GHz by chrislim7

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. I have had this about over an year, and it's still perfect. I ran Flash CS3, Photoshop CS3, Safari, and iWeb all at once, and it still worked great. Sometimes, not often though, an application crashes (suddenly quitting or not responding). But that doesn't effect you much. Also, ... Read review

Simple on the outside...
Review of Apple Mac mini Core Duo 1.83 GHz by andyt545

Advantages: small, fast, reliable
Disadvantages: n/a

...and how nicely and simply apple managed to fit a computer into a tiny confined space without making it look cheap and stupid. It may look simple, but this computer is pure and utter technology on the inside, delivering ultimate reliability and speed for all times of file viewing, such as DVD movies etc, however you may encounter a few problems when using extremely demanding programs such as heavy gaming etc, but they do run pretty good still... ...

Not for intensive use, good otherwise.
Review of Apple Mac mini PPC G4 1.42 GHz by TheIceLynx

Advantages: Small footprint, attractive design, great operating system.
Disadvantages: Low video RAM, slow hard drive, architecture is dated.

I bought this computer 3 years ago when it first came out. Initially, it was a wonderful little machine, which did everything I threw at it. Then again, my usage with it was strictly basic at the time when I got it. Shortly after, I started getting into audio production, and that's when the mini began to fall short of my expectations for it. You can't really expect too much from it, as it's a low-end consumer model. It serves your basic needs like ... Read review

MacMini: Small in size not stature
Review of Apple Mac mini Core Duo 1.66 GHz by Sgrov

Advantages: Small size, mostly durable to viruses, style
Disadvantages: Gaming, doesn't run many programs compared to a windows.

Had this computer for a while great if you already have a screen and do not want to shell out on a mac-mini. As well as being immune to the bulk of viruses that quickly affect windows computers. It is very useful for many things that a windows PC might be less useful for. However the tables are quickly turned if you are interesting in using it for gaming. In this case I have had friends that have set up partitions within the computer to receive the ...
...so that it could be even called portable which makes a change from most desktop computers. As well as all this many of my friends are always in awe of the style. However I also hasten to add that it does not support regular web-cams and a special iCam must be bought at a premium price, I was unfortunate to discover this after purchase. ... Read review

The computer downloads fast and even is really good to do some school work on. It has some nice features too. It has a floppy disc drive and cr drive ... Read review
