[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 1117004, member: 21101"] The Mini is a great media center and a good entry level computer for secondary use. It's biggest hamstring, IMO, is the slow HDD which is laptop standard rather than desktop. The iMac, on the other hand, has desktop standard HDDs. Not only that, but the entry level iMac comes with 4GBs of RAM and a 3ghz i3, compared to 2GBs standard in the Mini and the 4-year old Core 2 Duo CPU. If you up the Mini processor to a 2.66ghz C2D (which is still a slouch by comparison) and 4GBs of RAM, it suddenly costs over $1,000. I love my Mac Mini, but it's probably the poorest value Mac in the lineup. Sorry... [/QUOTE]
