Reviews of the Apple Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

CNET Review
The Good: Fast new Core 2 Duo processor compares well with competing Windows desktops; useful iLife '08 software; supersmall chassis remains unique in the mainstream desktop market.
The Bad: Comparable slim Windows desktops offer more features for the dollar, as well as expandability; no information from Apple on whether you'll have to pay for a Leopard upgrade two months from now; free phone support for only 90 days.
The Bottom Line: The Mac Mini remains unique as the smallest mainstream desktop, but competition from Dell and HP has narrowed the gap in features while also offering room for expansion, and at a better price. If your goal is saving space, the Mac Mini is a winner. If you'd rather get the best deal, there are better options.

Review Summary: In benchmarking, it produced 20 frames per second compared to our iMac's 71.3fps. So, it's not much cop at graphics. Still, if all you want is basic specs for communications and the odd movie, and you already have the peripherals, then it has some value
