Mac mini - Mac mini Introduction

The Mac Mini (marketed as Mac mini) is a small form factor desktop computer manufactured by Apple Inc. It weighs 2.7 pounds (1 kg). Before the mid-2011 revision, all models, except the late 2009 and 2010 server models, came with an internal optical disc drive.

The Mac Mini is one of three desktop computers in the current Macintosh lineup, the other two being the iMac and Mac Pro, although it generally uses components usually featured in laptops, hence its small size.

The Mac Mini was the first consumer level Macintosh desktop to ship without a display, keyboard, or mouse since Apple's success following the release of the iMac, with Apple marketing it as BYODKM (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse) to reinforce this fact.

The primary intended market for the Mac Mini was users switching from a traditional Windows PC to a Mac who might already own a compatible display, keyboard and mouse, though these could be easily purchased if needed. A special Server version of the computer is also intended for use as a server in a small network, and starting with the mid-2010 revision, all Server models include the Server edition of the OS X operating system.

Mac mini Review from Amazon

After being a PC for over 10 years I decided to switch over, as Windows 7 was a pain and also I needed Logic 9 for College work. As I didn't have enough money for a MacBook Pro/iMac I decided to go with the much cheaper Mac Mini, and to be entirely honest, its runs perfectly, near no difference between the iMac. With the Mac Mini being quite small you can simple plot it anyway, on the desk, under the monitor, maybe hidden.
