| Bottom line | With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a
Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range. | Budget desktops might not be all that exciting, but the Gateway SX2870-UR10P slim tower shows you can still find a worthwhile day-to-day PC for under $500. | Apple's new
Mac Mini includes an elegant new design and some long asked-for features, including HDMI output and user-accessible memory. The system still faces a value challenge for its given specs, but Apple has done enough to improve the Mac Mini's appeal for Apple loyalists and design fans looking for a living room computer. |
