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.

As someone already pointed out in this forum if you want some kind of zippiness as I do in my machines, the price ends up being 1300 dollars. I built for my friend an athlon 64 3000 with 512 mb memory, ati 9600, 80 gb 7200 rpm hdd, case, heyboard mouse setup with monitor, mobo (of course) for less than 700. The only drawback is that it runs xp and not Mac OS X. I see the only reason to buy a Mini would be....err none. I would rather with that 1300 dollar price by a different apple machine like err...oh wait none of the machines cause for the price you pay mac machines are too friggin slow!!! I love Mac OS X believe me but I have to look at performance for my money as a student.
