David Coursey on the Mac Mini

By Jim on February 18th, 2005

David has a good column about his experiences with the Mac mini. He seems quite positive about it.

In summary: The mini addresses two major issues I’ve been struggling with for some time. One is that many people who would benefit from having a Mac never get the chance because they are so firmly wedded to Windows. The other is that most of us buy a lot more computing and software performance than we actually use or need.

With its minimalist approach, ability to live right alongside a Windows PC, and low price, the mini is finally a Mac that the non-Apple world could easily embrace. I have friends who’ve already decided to buy a mini instead of a planned upgrade of their Windows machine, and I bet there will be many more like them.

If you’ve always wondered about the allure of Macintosh computing, the mini is an inexpensive way to find out. And it’s a very nice piece of hardware—regardless of what OS it runs.
