"Apple really is is the better way, but why? No, not for the trendy industrial design, not for the OS, not for the CPU, but for the money. It charges quite a bit, but it is not the 'reassuringly expensive' factor either, the price/performance is nothing to brag about. What makes Apple better is quite simply the fact that it doesn't compete."

G4 is just outdated

G4 is ancient. Thats a sad fact. The fact that Apple still sells it, doesn't throw a good light at the company. Thats like Intel or selling chips from 6 or 7 years ago.

Any kind of high end app is just too much for G4. Lets hope that will change with the new intel chips.

I do a lot of RAW photo shooting, and working with RAW files, is horrible slow. And that just need pure CPU power (I use Canon DPP)

It's on older CPU, sure, but for many (or even most) users it is still perfectly fine. A 1.42GHz Mac mini can do the things that a majority of users need it to do and it does it quickly enough. This is a bad argument "gullevek".

Well perhaps I am expecting too much from my Mac Mini. But after one year usage, its just too slow for me. But I doubt I would be the average PC user. I do a lot of Photo Shooting in RAW format, I have tons of emails, browse a lot of webpages, etc ...
