Pros & Cons
Pros
Apple's mac mini is an incredible little product. My wife is absolutely in love with the mini, because it is always available. I decided to invest in the 1. Ghz out of a serious post-maverick withdrawal jam.
The dual processor is pretty fast. The mini works quite well with 2gb of ram.
The mac mini works great as a simple desktop solution. The upgrade is only $29 from apple, unlike the prices you'll pay to upgrade your windows os.

Hard drive is small, but i knew i'd have an external drive hooked up. Same for the hard drive. I have a 160gb ministack sitting under it which serves as an alternate boot drive and a firewire/usb powered hub.

Highlights
Quality
While i dont edit in imovie im still impressed with the simplicity of the product
I installed it and am very impressed with the apple system as compared to microsoft windows
I just wasnt pleased with the course of apples os development post june 30th 2008 reference configuration leopard
Doing your own ram upgrade is somewhat of a nightmare even for someone familiar with the insides of a pc
Price
The price was right and a mac mini is a great way to being the entire internet to a home theater system
Is excellent software for the average consumer
It was silly years ago but now theres just no real cost difference
Settled with mac mini as the price was good
Shipping
I ordered my new one yesterday 120307 and received it today 120407 via the free shipping option
The minis amazon is now shipping with a 10
Competitiveness
Even with a measly 1 gb ram and a paltry 80gb hdd my mac mini managed to entertain us for three years
Coupled with a wireless keyboardmouse this was a true nobrainer purchase in every sense
If you dont have a monitor keyboard mouseget a refurb imac or macbook instead
So bought a rocketfish webcam as well 70
