Star Does the Mac Mini Stack Up?: A Comparison
Linked by Brian "eXtra heavy" Czarski on Wed 19th Jan 2005 17:41 UTC
Hardware, Embedded Systems I have been an omni-platform user, Windows, OS X and Linux user for some time now. I love different things about each platform and loathe just as much as I like about all three. The release of the Mac Mini at MacWorld really made me wonder if Apple made good move in jumping into the low range market. I decided the best way to see was to compare the Mini to my primary box, a similar system in specifications and price.

When the G5 came out, everyone said "Yeah, but I could build a dually for less that was (maybe) faster!!" Are we seriously back to this again? I think it's safe to say that the macmini won't be stealing many customers from the cheapass BYO market. However, contrasting a BYO box with the minimac ignores on crucial fact: that BYO box doesn't, and won't ever run OS X.
