Cons not for pro applications, heats up quickly

Intro
Apple's Mac Mini joined their desktop computer product line as somewhat of an oddity.

Without keyboard, monitor, or mouse, the... Read full review »

Perfect for the PC to Mac Switch

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.

Pros Nothing
Cons Everything
Recommended it? No

I hate this computer, it is very hard to navigate to apps, windows is much better. Very slow, boot time is horrible. The graphics are the same. Most people who make software were smart and made it for windows. Metro, Aero, Royale, Luna, and even Classic look better than this Aqua theme. It tries to... Read full review »
