ArsTechnica Reviews The Intel Mac Mini (Core Solo)
phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has put together a review of the recently announced Intel-powered Mac mini. The model reviewed was the public's first look at a Core Solo desktop from Apple and the results are promising: 'Up until Apple's "fun" announcement on the last day of February, there was really no indication of how Apple's low-end Intel offerings would be presented. Now that Apple has disclosed the specification and price points for their entry-level machines, we can get a better idea of where Apple is trying to take their product line. For those people who might be unaware, two new Mac Mini models were released and by most accounts, the products have been well received aside from a few quibbles over specifications.'"
The thing is, OS X is like Linux only without the headaches and politics.
Linux is like OS X, without the ease of use and reality of actually getting things done in a timely manner.
Mac OS X and Windows XP working side by side to fight back the night.
Ohmygod, more hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
I think, therefore I am...I think.
Compiling software should also be much quicker, which is another gripe I have.
I expect that's exactly why they put a faster HDD in there. I bet Apple were just sick of getting thousands of support calls from first time buyers about how slowly Emacs was compiling.
In fact, that's probably why they sacrificed a better graphics chip. They just had to get those compile times down for the end user.
No, I know one Slashdotter who decided to splurge on a Powerbook after Suse screwed him over for the nth time and X was still not working. Me.
And he will never go back to Linux on a Desktop.
Linux is free as in beer. Not bloody likely. Linux is free as in Syphilis.
The dangers of excessive individualism are nothing compared to the oppressiveness of excessive collectivism
Linux is free as in Syphilis.
ROFL.. QFT!
