    If you demand a small, relatively affordable Mac, the Mac Mini is your only option. Otherwise, you can find Windows-based small form factor desktops that offer more interesting features with better value. Read more

    • Apple's industry leading design
    • Poor performance for its price, Not as living-room-friendly as its Windows-based competition

    This is not to say it's not great — it now runs faster than before, especially in the graphics department, and yet still remains amazingly quiet even when heavily taxed. If you prioritise space and aesthetics, and want a machine that will cover most day-to-day needs, it's still the tiny platform of choice. Read more

    • No Blu-ray, No HDMI out — Apple TV is still a stand-alone product, RAM upgrades overpriced
    • Size has stayed tiny, despite hardware upgrade, Nvidia chipset offers better 3D and video decoding

    The Mac Mini is the greatest Mac that never was, always just a little too expensive and/or a little too underfeatured to be perfect. This time it’s closer than ever to perfection—but still falls short. Read more

    I'm a PC user but I bought one of these for my parents who wanted a media centre for their holiday house. The mac mini is perfect. I got a wireless keyboard and mouse, as well as the cute little remote, hooked the whole thing up to their existing stereo and projector and voila! They now run all their music and movies through the mini. They are computer illiterate but now have a library of 4000+ songs and 200 movies they access regularly through FrontRow. Read more

    • Looks great easy to use. Fantastic media centre
