Advantages: Very small (takes up barely any space), Designed for PC to Mac users, Quick and capable, Many apps.
Disadvantages: In-built speaker isn't brilliant
The Mac Mini is a revolutionary computer. It is so small yet so capable. I have had mine for 2 months now and it has performed brilliantly. It is very small at around 16cm x 16cm x 5cm. It has a hole to insert a disc into, so can be used to watch movies, burn CDs, play games and more.
The new Mac Mini comes with the all new Leopard version. This brings great functions such as 'Stacks' to help clear up your desktop and make it neat and easy to use. There are so many functions that the Mac Mini is capable of that you will just have to find out for yourself.
It is very easy to work and you will get used to the new feel quickly if you are an ex PC user. This computer is designed for users who choose to buy a mac after having a PC. You can keep your old monitor and hook it up to the Mac Mini even with your old keyboard and mouse by using any of the 4 USB ports the mac mini has. The mac mini even has a built in speaker to support sound, although it is not of excellent quality.
The Mac Mini is very fast and can support numerous applications opening at once whereas a PC would most probably freeze or crash in comparison. It is also a lot safer to use than other computers with its built in security. By accessing the system preferences, you can customise your mac however you like by choosing everything from the desktop picture to energy saving settings.
What makes the mac mini so much greater than any other mac is it's size. Despite being so small, it is extremely capable due to the remarkable technology it consists of. The new Mac Mini consists of a Core Duo hard drive at either 1.83Ghz or 2.0Ghz depending on the version you buy. Further upgrades can be chosen from the apple store and they will custom-make your mac to your preferences within a week. Prices start at £399.99.

- 28/08/08 So what happens if you don't own a previous PC? Are you pushed to buy MAC only monitor and keyboard? How much are they? A bit more info on this product would be good. Im considering a Mini mac or MacBook. |

- 26/08/08 You could have added a little bit more into the review in terms of the graphic card it uses, and if it has any additional slots/ports for SD/memory cards, wireless internet etc |
