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.

I agree with your point modman. It is for people who dont care about performance. But if I buy a computer I would want performance. And as Fatal Claws pointed out the base config should be a bit higher for example with the RAM. 256 mb is a joke! Especially with Mac OS X I am sure. And couple that with a hard drive running at dinosaur rpms, and you got yourself a nightmare in your hands. All I am saying is that no one can consider the base version of the mini a great deal. All it has going for it is the OS. Why would not a person want the best for their money? If I could afford of course I would buy a formula 1 car!! I use all the power my system provides me. So for me more power less price is better or else the usability of the machine goes down.
