Pros tiny footprint, lots of ports, amazing operating system
Cons not for pro applications, heats up quickly
Recommended it? Yes

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.

Perfect for the PC to Mac Switch

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small and mighty. Very nice.
Cons Some software purchases may be necessary.
Recommended it? Yes

I really like my Mini Mac! It is small and does not take up much space at all (less than a laptop). I have the new Leopard operating system which is very nice and much better than Windows XP.

The CD/DVD is very smooth, not noisy at all and you do not have to worry about eject buttons... Read full review »

The 20″ screen is nothing short of beautiful in my opinion, now admittedly my 17″ pc monitor is not the best and my 17″ flat panel at work is pretty good but the colors and crispness of the iMac screen is great. I actually spent some time looking through all of the desktop pictures just to... Read full review »

Cons Batteries in bluetooth mouse and keyboard eventually need replacement.
Recommended it? Yes

I am in love with my new iMac. Really! I love it because it is solidly built, affordable, and fun.

The first indication of the quality of this machine is it's packaging, construction, and software. The packaging job apple has done is amazing. I really enjoyed opening the box. It's... Read full review »
