    Pros: - Portability. Great for travel if you happen to have the necessary peripherals.
    - Gestures compatible.
    - Can be used as a dedicated iTunes server (I have NAS)
    - File server integration with iPad 2, iPod touch and my MBP.
    - Nice display with an HDMI.

    Cons: - Price-wise, one would probably expect an optical disk drive. I didn't feel it was necessary so I went ahead with the purchase.
    - Only 500 GB.

    Summary: All in all, I'm glad I didn't get an iMac because the mini has great potential as a portable unit as long other peripherals are handy. It has an elegant design which can be added to using the USB, firewire, and thunderbolt ports.
    I really don't see why other reviewers knocked this unit. Maybe pricing issue and its memory are good arguments but I found they weren't compelling for me not to like it.
