FedEx dropped the little computer off on our porch yesterday. It may be small but not under-powered. It's has an 80 GB hard drvie, a combo drive (read/burn CDs, read DVDs), 512 MB memory, and a 1.42 GHz processor (PPC, so thats like a 2 GHz Intel, kinda) It's not an incredibly powerful machine, but it's the fastest computer in the house now and we're all very jealous. I came with Tiger and iLife '05 as well as a demo of the new iWork. Nobody can belive how small it is. I don't know how Apple packed so much into such a tiny box. I think I want one. (to replace my 366 G3 iBook)

first thing first, upsize the ram as much as u can afford.
This will make it run almost like a stock G5 powermac.
Get bluetooth and buy a BT keyboard and BT mouse
Hook it up to a Television, it becomes a "media player"

Yeah, If you can afford it when you get your own, get a gig of ram. It doesn't make it nearly so much of a deal, but Tiger likes RAM. Also, it means you can really abuse the awesome task-switching ability of OS X.

It really needs some more memory. Here are some pictures:

Yea, these things are so convenient, its got everything a regular Mac has! However, an upgrade in memory is advisable as this is one of the main differences between a MacBook. Also, these are so easy to hook up to your TV for a huge display!

Personally, I feel the Mac Mini is underpowered for my own needs, since it doesn't feature a high-powered CPU, large amounts of RAM or a large hard drive. I would prefer to pay more for a more powerful iMac or MacBook Pro.

Even though this is an old topic, I would like to say I like the mac mini. It is good because it's so small, and smaller than a laptop.

And also the Mac Mini is about double the volume because it's so thick. Without taking into account the thinkness, its smaller.

Then again, you have to see that the Mac Mini's design dates back to 2005 while eeepc's design is circa 2007.
