Great starter mac or media server.......2006-11-11

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. I have almost completed the process of importing all my CDs and some movies into iTunes. Importing video from a digital camcorder is quite easy with iLife but the G4 CPU is not up to the task for quick video editing. The newer Intel Core Duo mac mini should handle this easlity though.

(Almost) all you need for Videoconferencing.......2006-06-10

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. The only surprise was that the Mac Mini does not have a microphone line in, but the iSight camera connected via Firewire has a built-in microphone, so it works like a charm.
The SuperDrive allows to burn home videos in excellent quality. The Mac takes it's time doing the mpeg encoding, but thats OK as it is so silent when working you hardly notice the computer is on.
The i-Software is easy enough to use, that even my mom is happy to make use of the computer. All in all a great buy - everything works, setup is simple and no blue screens or weird error messages.

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. Apple only sells items within 90 days and this product was over 4 months.

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!

For all the Windows users who don't want to make the switch to the Mac, with the newest Mac OS you will not look back once you get used to the ways that Apple does things the way they are SUPPOSED to be done.

As per usual Apple, the design of the Mac Mini is perfect, and it's so quiet that your own heartbeat will no doubt be louder than this quiet monster.

If you need a solid family computer that will allow you to surf the net, work with spreadsheets, check e-mail, or just do 99% of the things that you would like to be doing (I don't say 100% because it's not a gaming machine), pick up a Mac Mini for your home office, kitchen, ANYWHERE and you will NOT be disappointed!!

***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Its a mac..........2006-02-19

I got my mac mini a couple months ago. I've wanted a Mac for a while now and finally got one. Im a poor college student that loves writing and recording music. I use Logic 6 on my Mini and it runs great. Cant do anything extreme with it, but it gets the job done. The main reason i like Mac so much is the software. Microsoft still has their head in the dirt and if they dont pull it out soon Mac is going to have an empire bigger than theirs. Who could possibly say XP is a better OS than Tiger. Everything on a mac just makes sense. It takes some getting use to, but once you get away from the Windows way of thinking you kinda never go back. Unix systems just run better, sorry Bill. Gates always use to talk about inovation and how they're pushing the industry forward. From the previews I've seen of Longhorn it looks like they're mimicing Mac and havent come up with anything original or innovative. Yeah Steve Jobs is a bit of an egomaniac, and likes to have all the control, but at least he has cool people working with him that make cool stuff.
