The little engine that could
The Mac mini may be one of the most misunderstood pieces of technology around. People assume that, because of the size, it lacks any kind of pizazz. But a Mac mini is the sports car of the computer world: a huge amount of horsepower, but easy to park. You can hook it up to any kind of VGA monitor, hook it up to any kind of USB keyboard or mouse, add in a FireWire drive or three, and this little box the size of five CD jewel boxes turns into a powerful, full-featured Apache Web server, or file server, or media server (my personal use), or Frankenmac (for conducting bizarre experiments in Unix scripting or other alarming things). The mini takes up *less* room than a laptop, but can do everything the big boys do, including run Windows, if you insist. And you get WiFi and Bluetooth, too.

top product-mac mini
I recommend this model of the mini as it has a bigger harddrive and dvd burner superdrive. So far it has been rock solid and works flawlessly. If you have your own monitor,keyboard,mouse, this is the ticket. I love my new mac mini.

Great little mac
I haven't had any problems with the mac mini. I'm primarily a PC guy but this let's me get my feet wet without spending too much. Plus, I've been doing a little iphone development and this let's me work in xcode and use the iphone SDK.

Very dissapointed
Ok, first of, I LOVE apple and their products. I own the original Mac Mini 1.25 GHz motorola G4, and iPod nano, an iPod video, and an iPod touch. But let me tell you, this here is the worst product from apple I have ever purchased. It is CONSTANTLY crashing, even though I have all up-to-date software. Apple made a HUGE mistake switching to Intel. Personally, I prefer my old one to this.
I fell bad about writing a poor review for this item, because I have NEVER had a problem with an Apple product until this.

My second Mac Mini, perfect for my home theater/media center
This is my second Mac Mini. My first one still works great, never had a problem with it ever, despite upgrading the original memory and clumsily performing a delicate overclocking operation that brought me up to 1.5Ghz on the old CPU. Still, my old Mac Mini kept on ticking. Never crashed once in over 3 & 1/2 years. Not once. Never once had any issues or problems at all. I just wanted the Intel Core 2 Duo chip and all of the new software (Leopard). I love this new Mac Mini ... much faster at 2.0 Ghz with the Intel Core 2 Duo chip. I sincerely recommend buying an upgrade to the stock memory from 1G to 4G, for around $80, since this Mac Mini shares system memory with the video card. It greatly increases the speed of virtually everything. Some people have said the 4Gig upgrade to the Mac Mini is a waste because it will only recognize 3.5 Gig of the memory. Nonsense. I installed the 4 Gig and my system profiler shows 4 Gig available, installed, and functioning properly. Awesome speed and power. Can now run Windows XP in Parallels faster than on a PC. I also recommend buying a NewTech MiniStack external drive accessory, because it give you a bunch of extra firewire and USB ports.
Virgin America formally launches: Last week, Virgin America offered free Wi-Fi on its single Internet-equipped aircraft, My Other Ride's a Spaceship. Today, the service goes commercial ($10 for flights 3 hours or shorter; $13 for longer flights), and the rollout to other planes begins. Virgin has a special URL--http://wifitracker.virginamerica.com/--that takes you to a tracking page showing which flights in progress have Wi-Fi, but they don't yet tell you how to determine whether a given flight you'll be on will offer the service. With 24 planes and a plan to add service one per week, that shouldn't be a problem for long.
Heathrow Airport Coach Link adds Internet service: Icomera, a leading transportation Wi-Fi firm, has added free Wi-Fi to FirstGroup's RailAir coach service that connects Heathrow Airport with Reading in England. RailAir runs every 20 minutes for a 50-minute route. FirstGroup handles 3 million passengers a day across all its routes, which makes it a plum market for future expansion.
