| 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. | Info unavailable | The Origin Chronos shows the strength of small boutique vendors with a fast, affordable, and compact little desktop that I can recommend to any PC gamer. |
