    Excellent computer

    Pros: Small, silent, ease of use, wireless connectivity, value for money

    Cons: Small hard drive, low default RAM

    I have long been one to build my own PCs, but I've never liked the rather noisy and clunky looking PCs that I built. The previous PPC Mac mini was nice, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to leave all my Windows applications behind (Virtual PC... is too slow..). When I found out that the latest Intel-based Mac mini can also dual boot Windows, I knew I had to get this machine. It is really small and virtually silent - a blessing when I need to concentrate on work. OS X is beautiful and a joy to use, and the bundled software makes this machine an excellent value for money. Sure, you can build a PC with equivalent specs for less, but it won't have the same size, look or software bundle. The hard drive is a tad small, but it uses a laptop harddrive - and laptop harddrives still haven't reached the same capacities as desktop harddrive. The pre-installed 512MB RAM is just enough, but not if you want to multi-task - an upgrade to 1GB RAM is ideal. Read more Less

    Once you go Mac you'll never go back!

    Pros: Silent, highly reliable, built in software, doesn't crash, Dont need drivers for external devices.

    Cons: Hard drive

    I used a PC for most of my life and finally caved in and got a Mac due to my brother's testmonial of his experience with Apple. The Mac mini was the perfect intro into an Apple computer. It was compatible with all my hardware, and peripheals. I&#...39;m doing things I never thought was possible on such a small computer. It makes you creative, even if you don't have one creative bone in your body. You'll love it. Read more Less

    The 100 Best Products of the Year

    Powerful computers, handy services, tiny utilities, mammoth HDTVs--our editors' top picks include all these and a whole lot more. Plus: the worst products of all time.We rated each candidate on its design, performance, and specifications. We generally did not consider price in our evaluations; instead, we looked for products that represent the cream of the crop. But in compiling our list, some products were such great bargains that we couldn't ignore them. Of course, ranking laptops and Linux distributions in one place is tricky, but we used the same scoring system for each candidate and assessed them as consistently as we could. This year we have also assigned each candidate an "impact" score, to recognize significant products that changed the technology landscape. And last, we ranked every World Class award winner by its final score, creating our list of the year's top 100 products. Read more
