Mac mini Review At Macworld

Posted by timothy on from the mikey-likes-it dept.

lemonylimey writes "Macworld has the first hands-on review of the new Mac mini along with nicely illustrated step-by-step dissection. It looks like the mini comes apart easily and (unsuprisingly) uses standard notebook components: a Panasonic DVD-R drive on 'SuperDrive' equipped models, Seagate Momentus 2.5" notebook ATA-100 hard drive and a single, nicely accessible 184 pin DDR DIMM socket. Upgrade options aside, it might not have the clock-for-clock power of the equivalent $499 PC, but you have to ask yourself - If you put them both on a shelf and ask your Mom* to pick one, which one is it going to be? (Yes, I'm sure your Mom is a Doctor of Mathematics and wouldn't buy anything she couldn't run Debian on. You know what I meant.)"

    Easy to have a sig like you do when the discussion is locked. Why don't you start a new discussion and I'll give you my two cents. You can add it to the $6,000.

    Reply to this when you've done it so I get a /. notice.

    I was under the impression that you could not use a windows iPod with a MAC.

    Is that true?
