I think that this PC is neat, easy to use, and very compct for those who have limited space. It is also great for those who want something that is small and compact with the ease of use of any ordinay desktop PC.
Pro : Everything
Con : nothing

I bought this unit with the 1gig of RAM and it handles all my video, photo, spreadsheet, word processing, etc with ease. All my pheripherals truly plugged & played. Apple should start making cell phones, then maybe we would have a reliable worthy technology.
Pro : It always works, never have to reboot
Con : Hard drive could be a bit bigger

This is by far the easiest to use computer I have ever dealt with...I'm done with PC's forever.
My only complaint is the monitor blinks in and out sometimes.
I don't know what is wrong with the adapter I'm using but it's the one that came with my Mac Mini.
The monitor worked fine on my PC. But I'm willing to play around and figure it out. for the options and standard software Mac mini is cool, Whisper quiet too, unless you place a cd in. but even then it's way lower than the sound you will have with your PC when it's just in idle.
4.8 out of 5 in my opinion
Pro : Just about everything so far
Con : The adapter for the monitor.

I used a PC for most of my life and finally caved in and got a Mac due to my brother's testmonial of his experience with Apple. The Mac mini was the perfect intro into an Apple computer. It was compatible with all my hardware, and peripheals. I'm doing things I never thought was possible on such a small computer. It makes you creative, even if you don't have one creative bone in your body. You'll love it.
Pro : Silent, highly reliable, built in software, doesn't crash, Dont need drivers for external devices.
Con : Hard drive

I have long been one to build my own PCs, but I've never liked the rather noisy and clunky looking PCs that I built. The previous PPC Mac mini was nice, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to leave all my Windows applications behind (Virtual PC is too slow..).

When I found out that the latest Intel-based Mac mini can also dual boot Windows, I knew I had to get this machine. It is really small and virtually silent - a blessing when I need to concentrate on work. OS X is beautiful and a joy to use, and the bundled software makes this machine an excellent value for money. Sure, you can build a PC with equivalent specs for less, but it won't have the same size, look or software bundle.

The hard drive is a tad small, but it uses a laptop harddrive - and laptop harddrives still haven't reached the same capacities as desktop harddrive. The pre-installed 512MB RAM is just enough, but not if you want to multi-task - an upgrade to 1GB RAM is ideal.
Pro : Small, silent, ease of use, wireless connectivity, value for money
Con : Small hard drive, low default RAM
