The Apple Mac Mini with Intel Core Duo is a lean, mean computing machine. Aesthetically pleasing and functional the Mac Mini is a great option for Apple enthusiasts that can’t quite afford that large iMac just yet.

The Mac Mini includes an Intel Dual Core processor, 1 GB of Ram (expandable up to 2 GB), 80 GB hard drive, OSX 10.4 and CD/DVD RW optical drive. The Mac Mini also has a network adapter, firewire port , 4 USB ports and wireless networking and Bluetooth abilities. This computer does not include any additional hardware like a monitor, keyboard or mouse.

The only real complaints users and reviews have about this computer is the lack of hard drive space. The Mac Mini will not function as a multimedia computer. If you want something with some serious oomph look elsewhere. Users especially like the Mac Mini’s simplicity.

The Mac Mini is a great introduction for those looking to switch from PC to Mac without breaking the bank.
