After months of “thinking about it”, I finally decided Mac Mini is the one I want for my next computer. All four lines of current Mac computers are very attractive (PowerMac, Powerbook, iMac, and Mac Mini). But given that I’ve already got a very good notebook computer – the Dell X300 for work, and 3 LCD panels at home – one of them 20inch with DVI connection, the Mac Mini makes the most sense. Not to mention that the cost is much lower than the others.
The only thing I need to do before the purchase would be buying some APPL shares – I wish I had done that when I bought the first of the three iPod (1st, 2nd, and 4th generation). I’ll discuss more about the iPod next time.
hehe. I think Mac mini is a good bargain even for poor students like myself!
The software suite comes with it is very good. Many people say that Mac OS X is the best available Desktop system.
Many people are looking forward to the Tiger Release before the they buy a Mac Mini. Because Mac OS 10.4 will be a major advance in features! You may want to delay your purchase until April when it comes out.
Ha, it’s good to know that you own a X300. How do you feel about it? I’m thinking of buying an ‘ultraportable’ laptop. Not sure it’s going to be a Dell X300 or an IBM X40. What do you think?
