Product Summary
Apple Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 120GB, Winter 2009)
price range: $776.03
While we're still impressed with the Mac Mini's ability to pack so much into a tight package, Apple can't get away from its PC competitors that offer more features for less money. If saving space and the Mac OS are dominating factors, then the new Mac Minis are a viable option, but your dollar will stretch much further with a budget Windows desktop.
