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 »

Pros fast, design
Cons price point
Recommended it? Yes

I love this computer because well, it's a Mac. It comes with so many cool programs that you can make videos with, record and edit audio, and just have fun.  The computers design also makes clutter a thing of the past. I love the fast that it only has one cord, with Wifi built in. The computer... Read full review »
