"Mac Mini rules"
Pros: Small size, low noise, clean design, dual core,
Cons: Limited connectivity, buying experience, overall quality, not supporting Mac OS (you have to live with all the viruses, crashes, installation problems etc. you get with Windows)
Summary: If it wasn't because Apple already had their Mac Mini on the market I would seriously consider this product.
Unfortunately for AOpen, Apple has done a very well thought about design with their Mini. I have already bought two Mac Minis. I have owned 15 PCs since my first PC-XT back in the early 1980s by the way.
From being a PC fan I am getting a bit tired of spending hours fighting USB driver problems, sudden crashes, viruses, installations I can't remove completely etc. etc. on my PCs.
It's almost strange for me to realize that my two Mac Minis are completely free of these problems.
If you absolutely want, you can run Windows on the Mac Mini.
Anyway, I want to give AOpen a rating of 8 for the best attempt in the Window category of making what Apple has already done. So if you don't like Apple, I think this is the best alternative - especially as a PC connected to your home theatre. I don't need a second-class TV tuner in my PC anyway.
