Everyone by now knows about the Mac Mini. I think I will be placing an order for one on Friday, I am having some trouble deciding on the configuration though. I know I need more than 256 Mb RAM, but I wonder if they would be as user serviceable as other Mac’s – I suspect not.
The Apple Store charges ยฃ50 for the upgrade to 512 which is a bit mad really. I also do not know if it will be worth getting the faster model for the extra money. I do not need a new/another computer. It is more a matter of wanting to properly evaluate the Mac OS X and so forth so therefore I am aiming at affordability really.
Eventually I see this machine sitting near my TV and plugged into it with a wireless keyboard/mouse. Will use it for a media player etc, I recently pushed the configuration of my main desktop way up so I am not expecting to use this for a day to day machine, but it would make a very sexy media center pc especially since it has no fans.
I am leaning towards the smaller CPU version with wifi, bluetooth and 512Mb RAM this should set me back ยฃ480 which is a steal really.
