"Small, attractive, inexpensive and loaded with fantastic software, the Mac Mini is exactly what the OS X-deprived have been missing"
from Machome
"Since the Intel-based models aren't any more expensive and they promise better performance and include more features, such as Front Row and a remote control, there's no reason to choose a G4-based Mac Mini unless you find a great deal as resellers clear out their old inventory."
from Cnet.com
Cons: I haven't found any yet. I'll get back to you !
The Bottom Line: Buy the MacMini if compact size, ease of set-up, quiet operation and comprehensive software are desirable. Make sure you understand that keyboard, mouse and monitor are your responsibility.
from Shopping.com
Pros: about as powerful as an apple laptop, great styling and amazing functioning for such a small package
Cons: needs more USB ports
I like it! it's cool and small and got my grandpa sayin "technology these days".

The generation 1 mac mini is a great starter mac. I upgraded mine to 1GB at CompUSA and use it, along with an 160GB external drive, as my main media server.

This version of the Mac mini works very well for the purpose it was bought - keep in touch with family. Be it Skype or iChat, voice and video connections are of good quality.

Shouldnt the price of this gone down by now?? You can buy the new and much better Intel Core Duo version of this for $599 direct from apple. Im not gonna pay almost $100 more for the older one.
from Amazon.com
They sell old stock items which may have old software. I called Apple to register this and they told me Amazon should have NOT sold this.

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 got my mac mini a couple months ago. I've wanted a Mac for a while now and finally got one.
