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.

the basic configuration is no slouch. the mini is not a gaming station, not can you do things like motion on it... it is a system built for people who want to get work done and want to not spend a lot of money.

power/price is not a good argument is you do not intend to actually use the power of the system you want.

do I buy a formula 1 car because I want to go to work and the store? heck no.
