I have had my MacMini for about two years now. Became fed up with the Windows platform a long time ago. This replaced a $3,000 computer and I guarantee it was the best hardware investment I ever made.

The previous dual-display-support Mac mini was introduced on 3/3/09. It’s been just half year and it is updated already. Considering that the previous model are essentially identical (2.0GHz) and the 2.25GHz ‘custom made’ model was a $200 option, this is a nice upgrade. With the previous version, the value was in the entry-level model ($599), because the $799 model packs in useless 1GB x 2 and 320GB hard drive, which is practically worthless nowadays, it made sense to buy the entry model and put in the RAM and hard drive.
Now the differences are:
160GB vs 320GB

2GB (1GB x 2) vs 4GB (2GB x 2)

processor is 2.53 vs. 2.25GHz
160GB is all over my floor anyway, so it’s valued at $0.

320GB should be valued at $60
2GB (1GB x 2) = $0, because 1GB modules are all over the floor and worthless.

4GB (2GB x 2) = $80 and on the rise.
When the actual price difference of $200 and the value difference of $140 tossed into the washer, $60 come out of the wash.
This means the 2.53GHz vs 2.25GHz difference is valued at $60. As the added speed is translated into productivity, this $60 difference is well worth it.

I upgraded my trusty PowerPC G4 Mac mini to the new 2009 Intel Mac mini. What a huge difference. This thing screams. It is one of the fastest Macs I’ve ever owned. And it is so quiet, I can barely hear it. I love it.
If you’re looking to buy a new Mac, or interested in buying your first Mac, I highly recommend the new Mac mini. You won’t regret it.

At work, I got a MacBook Pro and decided that I liked Mac OS X well enough that I’d run it at home. This little box is like the micro-desktop equivalent (performance-wise) to my MacBook Pro. Low power, small, simple… and I don’t feel overly tied in to a specific monitor. I already had an HP 24″ and the mini fits perfectly on the actual monitor stand, below the screen. They were made for each other.
I also bought an Apple keyboard to keep things consistent but use my logitech wireless laser mouse with it. Another great combo.
No regrets so far.

I have been a PC guy since 1982 and just bought a Mac Mini. The best thing I have ever done. Loaded Fusion for Windows 7 and now run both operating systems at once. Can open any Microsoft Office application right from the Mac desktop. “AWESOME”!!! My PC mother board was going out and I had a nice monitor and two 500gb hard drives in the PC. I used the monitor and took the hard drives out, bought two external hard drive cases for about $30 and plugged them into my mini. Worked great with my installed Windows 7.
