Late 2009 Apple Macmini

It is the most compact desktop in the market. It fits in the corner of my desk out of the way. It is almost completely silent; even when doing processor intensive work (video editing, photo editing, etc.). The upgrades available are outstanding. It has a 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo Processor, Support up to 8GB of memory, and 1TB of hard drive space. It has all the features like the other Apple computers: bluetooth, air port extreme 802.11n, super drive optical drive, supports dual displays.

It is by far the best desktop computer I have had.

Great Little PC

I got the 2.53Ghz version and this thing small yet powerful, very quiet and works like an Mac...flawlessly easy. I got mined used from eBay for $650 using Bing's cashback program and for the price it will do. I love the fact that I won't need to get rid of my LCD & Mouse/Keyboard. I primarily use it for photo/movie editing (Aperture/iMovie) + MS Office work and it does it well.

Pros: Small, Quiet, Serviceable
Cons: wish it had... quad core cpu + more video ram = extreme mini

btw, a lot people use it as HTPC (home theatre pc) with PLEX and it works great.

Why a Mac mini MC239LL/A

Best to say that I just received the unit (an Apple Mac mini MC239LL/A with 2.53 GHz, 320GB). This will be my first experience with a Mac mini desk top and therefore my comments can not be based on actual use, but rather what I expect from it based on research. Although this is not Apple's latest model, I did not have a need for HDMI connection. More importantly, I felt that the faster speed and its having 4GB of ram would be more helpful than the 2010's model which had a standard 2GB of ram and a newer graphics option. Am hoping this all proves true. Of course cost also entered the picture and obviously last year's models are a bit less expensive when comparing similar units.

Way better computer over any desktop PC

quiet. small. fast strong. powerful. i hooked it up to my tv and its wonderful. i recommend to any home user computer. on top of other PC computers this one comes with the boot camp so you can install windows also. you can have dual system. Any PC can do that? i don't think so.
