my first mac

I have always been a pc girl, even though i've work on macs for years. what i liked about this is i could hook it up to, and actualy share my pc's peripherals. i have two towers (this and a dell compact) but one monitor, keyboard and mouse. with a share switch and a simple key shortcut i can go back and forth between the two systems. plus, i found it to be very affordable.

as far as performance this little guy is a powerhouse. i did actually buy it with 512mb ram and upgraded to 1g. it worked out cheaper. i have a huge music library on it, and use my adobe programs all the time. no slow photoshop on this bad boy.

oh, and it is quite a looker.

Terrible product and service

We purchased our first mac mini after hearing everyone tell us how great mac products are. Unfortunately after one day it crashed and would no longer boot up. We were able to get a replacement after of a good bit of frustration. However we were in the process of moving and were not able to move into our new home and unpack for a couple of months. Whithin a couple of weeks guess what. Our top notch mac mini had started locking up and we had to go through all kinds of things to get it to boot back up and then it quit starting up all together. Of course when we contacted apple all they would do is repair it since we were approaching 90 days since we had purchased it and they only give you 30 days to return it. I erronously thought that given the situation Apple would be happy to replace our second now defunct computer in less the ninety days and it would acutally be our third if you counted our mac pro notebook. Wrong. I wouldn't by an Apple if you want something that works for more than a short while before you need to fix it.

MACTABULOUS!!!

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
