Everyone by now knows about the Mac Mini<\/a>. 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.
\nThe Apple Store charges \u00a350 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.
\nEventually 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.
\nI am leaning towards the smaller CPU version with wifi, bluetooth and 512Mb RAM this should set me back \u00a3480 which is a steal really.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
