Hi guys,
My Dad is ready for a new computer. I've suggested he take a look at Mac (he usually buys Dell, just like me). One problem is price. Thanks to Dell discounts and coupons, he can usually get a pretty decent computer for around $500/$600.
The only Mac priced even *close* to this is the Mac Mini. The basic Mac Mini is only $500, although it requires the purchase of monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc.
Anyway, my question is about computer speed. If I convince my Dad to buy a Mac Mini, and he finds it too slow compared to his past Dells, I'm in big trouble.
So... for those that own the basic 1.25GHz Mac Mini, have you ever found it to be too slow for anything? Any comments on the Mac Mini's speed & performance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
