Review: Apple Mac Mini (2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 320GB)
DC
Apple's newest iMacs, especially the 27-inch model, offer
strong value thanks to their fast performance, good looks,
and large, attractive displays. The new Mac Mini is not
quite as compelling. We're looking at only the $799 2.53GHz
model (Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/MMini ) in this review,
and with its particular combination of size and features,
it competes in a strange middle ground. It's mostly fast
enough to stand side by side with Windows-based PCs in its
price range, but despite its size it doesn't offer the same
flexibility as other small desktops. The $799 Mac Mini
retains the appeal Mac Minis have always had for those who
want a small not-quite-budget Mac for day-to-day
productivity. For any other purpose, you'd be much better
off with a system from one of the Mac Mini's Windows-based
competitors...
