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.

"The mac mini is interesting but it isn't anything groundbreaking."
I beg to differ. It's not just the HW but the combinaiton of the two that makes this product groundbreaking. And unlike anything out there on the market today. The size and form factor and connections that are standard on the HW makes this premium product. When you facter in price $499, Apple's OS and all the iApps and third party Apps this becomes unlike anything seem in the computing market today.
"Caters to the current MAC fans but I'm not sure if it will have much widespread appeal. Perhaps it might make mini itx systems more popular and therefore cheaper."
Google the term Mac Mini and see the results you get. You've got every thing from the ultimate home theater system to car multimedia centers. And it's been out on the market, what, a week? Jan 11.
