"Apple did a very good job with the mini. They effectively completed the transition of the entry-level computer into a commodity. To the average joe, the Mac mini isn't a computer - it's another iPod or DVD player, just a lot better and a lot more feature-filled. It's a DVD player that can edit and create DVDs, and it's an iPod that can make and play music, and it's a box that you can retrieve your email. To the rest of us, it's a small, quiet, stylish looking box that finally breaks down the price barrier to Mac OS X. As a second system for any PC user, the Mac mini can't be beat."The Mac mini has certainly drawn attention from the PC enthusiast community, and so far it's getting rave reviews. My Mini shipped out last night (from China), and it should be here next Wednesday. Look for my review to follow in the coming weeks. :)
