I purchased this Mini for the additional audio processing power it would provide to my Powerbook when working with Logic Pro. I use it only in this manner and it works exactly as I expected and hoped in this respect. from Amazon.com For all those people who are concerned about space restrictions and want a powerhouse computer that will not need a large footprint, the Mac Mini is the perfect solution. Packing a boatload of power into a computer yay bigger than a coaster, there is no better power/space combination in the entire computing world! from Amazon.com I actually bought the mac mini at a local Apple store because Amazon does not carry the configuration that I wanted, which is: Core duo 1.66 GHz with superdrive from Amazon.com The Mac mini is a great little machine if you want something that is cute, compact, quiet and very connected to the outside world. Don't get it if you really need a high-performance desktop machine -- it is not for World-o-Warcraft. from Amazon.com This is a nice machine. It's my first Mac in many years and I am still getting used to it. from Amazon.com My mother recently purchased the Mac mini along with a wireless keyboard and mouse. She purchased it on my advice, and once it arrived, she remarked how small it was. from Amazon.com I am a loan officer and am forced to use Windows XP for ONE program that's not written for the mac as well (Calyx Point). Also, some Wholesale lenders have Internet Explorer only sites. from Amazon.com The Mac mini audio input jack is highly susceptible to picking up 60-cycle hum and other audio noise. Not acceptable. from Amazon.com It's not only beautifull to see, it's also most afordable for beginning Mac users. Mac OS X Tiger really is the best OS I've ever worked with, I love it. from Amazon.com The only problem I have had with my Mac Mini relates to the base memory configuration of 512 MB. This is way too little if you want to run 3 or more applications simultaneously. from Amazon.com
