JohnVbs said:I've been looking at the Mac Mini and think about whether it would be woth getting. Keep in mind I'm currently a PC user and currently only use macs at School.
I'm looking for reviews from people who already have them.
A few specific questions:
How well does it handle Adobe Photoshop and Carrara Studio?
How well does linux run on it. (Yello Dog, Ubuntu, etc.)

Depending on the amount of work (photo size etc) yeah, the G5 would be faster. Key notes: the Mac Mini is really small but can easily run Photoshop with enough RAM (up to 1G) but must use a notebook hard drive obviously (4200 RPM) That said, Mac mini is clearly a personal computing revolution to those that are awake. It's all about OS X yo!shaun89 said:Maybe an iMac would be a better choice with photoshop?
VakeJ said:The mac mini can be purchased with a 1.42 ghz processor, which is faster than the emacs (1.25ghz). What would the 1.42 be equal to relative to an intel chip? I know these comparisions are difficult to make, but I'm just curious to see what others think...
What is the point of splitting hairs?? Any Athlon/Intel edge is sheared away by running windows defense apps Mac will never need!!

Whiteshark, there's no need to jump down the throat of VakeJ just for asking a perfectly legit question..witeshark said:What is the point of splitting hairs?? Any Athlon/Intel edge is sheared away by running windows defense apps Mac will never need!! HELLO!
mynameis said:Where are you getting this information? Intel's Pentium-M has been around for years now, I have one. Clock for clock they are faster than Pentium 4s. As far as I have heard they are in no way based on a Pentium 3.
mynameis said:Click this link
Select 3Ghz Pentium 4
Select 512mb of ram
You'll get a complete system with Pentium 4 at 3.0 Ghz, 512mb or DDR2 ram, 40gb HD, and keyboard/mouse, for $669 or $569 if you bother to send in the rebate. A mac mini 1.25ghz with 512mb of ram and a keyboard/mouse is $632.
edit: almost forgot, that P4 system comes with a 17in LCD.

Pentium 4 3.6Ghz @ 274 UKP (and change). That's not far off the Mini price of 339!
Amen-Moses said:A PC magazine, IIRC it's called PC Extreme and it is dedicated to overclockers and modders (doesn't even have a CD on the cover!), there was a huge article comparing processors and explaining the differences between the various designs. I left the ruddy thing at work though, If I'd known I was going to be having this discussion I would have brought it home with me.
If the Pentium M is faster than the 4, cheaper than the 4 and cooler than the 4 why in heck would they bother making the 4!

Avalon said:Concerning it's price, it's a cheap Mac, but not a cheap computer. Of course you can get a cheaper PC, but with a lot more hassle afterwards than with the Mac mini. Those who do Windows support for their friends and relatives know what I'm talking about...
And forget about all those PowerPC vs. Intel/AMD battles...every actual CPU (this includes the G4) will do average usage more than fast enough...Powerusers don't buy a 500,- PC, and surely won't buy a Mac mini either.
