can anybody give me some for and againsts for the mac ? i'm looking at getting the mac mini , i have a pc at the moment but i'm just a bit fed up with it its about 4 or 5 years old but still a good spec but still keeps getting slow , and now both dvd-rw drives are playing up..

After getting a iphone 3gs just before xmas i'm kinda liking these apple products

all i really do is internet , music , films , play the odd game of c&c and would really like to use microsoft office because i have to start doing some portfolios that will need emailing ,

2.53GHz : 320GB

* 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Got my first Mac a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. I got the Macbook Pro to a similar spec of your Mini minus the 320GB hd (mines only a 250)

The operating system is vastly different than Windows but I havent had a single crash at all and everything is so simple to use. I havent used Windows 7 but am told its similar. Connecting it up to the internet was a breeze and much quicker than anything else I've used. I use mine for the internet, video creation, picture manipulation etc. Got mine on a thursday and had to do an important presentation on monday so spent the weekend with the iWork application (

Thanks Gareth i have heard alot of people say the same thing
