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.

Something to consider.

The mini is actually something to consider, if not for the price difference outside US. With a budget plane ticket I can actually pop over to New York and pick up 2 minis to break even:-)

Regarding OS X, how long does Apple support older versions? When do they stop providing security upgrades, forcing you to buy an upgrade?

Does the mini come with any kind of wordprocessor? I'm not sure what iWhatever dos what. Or do you have to buy one? iWorks?? Besides you can get LyX, so perhaps it's not needed:-)
