Ars reviews the Mac Mini Core Solo, and concludes: "Because this machine maintains the same great form factor and adds a ton of new, standard features in addition to having substantially better performance with only a price increase of $100 on each model, I'm giving the Mac Mini Solo a score of 8. The integrated graphics issue is an issue to be sure, but the impacted population is so small and the cure so easily fixed, that I don't feel that knocking the score down any further is warranted. From nearly all other perspectives, this is a great entry level machine with a great footprint and the ability to utilize peripherals most people already have." On a related note, the new Mini's processor is upgradable.

Interesting. I recently purchased a 12in iBook and love it. The thing is that I don't see any added value in purchasing .mac or any of the other add ons. I have a pop email address, online file folder, and gmail. So the .mac email address, 1 gig of online storage, etc... don't provide any value to me. I purchased apple care, and that was overpriced for what it provides. I did however buy an iPod Nano, the 1 gig version, but I refuse to buy DRM'ed music so iTunes is out.
All in all though, from a usage, price to feature, build quality, and every other comparison I think the iBook is probably the best laptop on the market.
