[QUOTE="Pierre, post: 172171, member: 13928"] And that is true. But about price. Do read this article: [url]http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/editors/2005/01/miniapplesandoranges3/index.php[/url] In there, it states [truly], that it would cost you 273 dollars to purchase the software included (iLife, AppleWorks, Quicken 2005, and two games). Take that from 500 dollars, and the Mac mini costs about, 227 dollars. Keep in mind that the dell comes with a 'revolutionary' word perfect, not worth much. Add seventy five dollars to the 227 (for a crt and keyboard/mouse), and the mac is cheaper than a dell. Not to mention it's got more ram and a better processor. 302 = Mac mini without included software, but w/ monitor and keyboard/mouse 399 = Badly specced dell with a monitor, and wordperfect software included in price. I rest my case. [/QUOTE]
