[QUOTE="techster82, post: 215331, member: 14842"] For what its worth, I had a mini with almost identical specs and I wasn't impressed at all. I got rid of it after a month and upgraded to a faster laptop Mac. I looked at the specs on your PC, and compared to the Mini you may be disappointed. I say "may" because I am not sure how you used your PC and what exactly you are expecting from the Mini. My view is that the Mini is a great introduction to OS X, but it definitely isn't for the hardcore Computer user. Its very slow overall, there are NO USB ports (only two is next to worthless), and the money you will spend on external components would almost justify buying an iMac. You will soon find the limitations of its capabilities and will either upgrade or kick yourself in the butt for buying it in the first place. Remember, there is a reason you can pick up a G4 mini for $350. If you don't expect much performance besides web surfing and writing text documents you are set. If you want to do video editing or have a massive MP3 library the Mini just won't fit your needs. [/QUOTE]
