hmm i'm on a 1.25 with 512mb ram. its fine for normal usage thats if you don't leave the programs running in the background. remember to cmd+Q any programs to exit it instead of clicking the red button on the top left cause that only closes the window and leaves the program running. example: in iTunes you click the close button but the song still plays.

It's true trust me.

Oh gosh! It is :( I went to an Apple center today and it was not really what I expected I was so happy and I saw it on display just sitting there running Mac OSX looks awesome everything was looking mad I had a huge smile on my face then I put my hand on the mouse and started moving it then I click on one of the menus up the top to drop it down and it lagged :| !!!! The menus even lag I couldnt beleive it, it was acting so un responsivly and lagily that I cant believe they are allowed to sell something like that, lucky i test before I bought one but I am sad now because i really wanted this and all the other Macs are too expensive I used a 20" iMac that was there for a while but then it crashed when I opened garageband so I held down that wierd power button on the back and turned it off then on it has an awesome light on the front of it too like just white the things looks soo cool when it was back and running it seemed very fast too bad this is way out of my price league :(

Oh wow I take it all back, I went back there to that Apple center and was very very angry to see that all these people were crowed around the mini I went grabed a drink came back and they had all moved on to a PowerMac G5 i ignored that one I went down to the Mini and rebooted that it (I figured out wow have to press the Apple button then restart :p ) Anyway I did it and then it came up, very, very fast boot by the way then when it was loaded I saw that the only program open was some wierd one with a two faces symbol Finder it think they call it? Which is good as before all the applications in the bottom had a little arrow under them meaning they were all open? Anyway so now only this one was open and I had a play with the menus it was very quick and responsive :D I opened iTunes it did this quickly too and then I played around with the HDD icon like clicking on it etc. It is actaully really quite fast :o i was impressed, I am going to get one tommorow :D

I would say niether but thats not an option.... naturally, I am a mac hater... its in my blood or something man... I just find them to become, how would you put it? UNSTABLE?, UNRELIABLE?...? after a short amount of time. so go the dell my friend :)

i'm not trying to be rude or anything but do you have first hand experience with macs? i've had plenty ($3million mac computer lab, super computing with powermacs, video editing with g4 cubes, macs in every classroom, my personal mac mini) and to date i've encountered enough errors to count with my fingers (ok maybe slightly more but my mac mini has had none so far for a few months). whereas my pcs have been bugged with spyware and many errors that want to make you pull your hair out over the past 6 years. so i find it hard to believe macs are more unstable or unreliable than pcs. if you're talking about hardware its equally unreliable. but if you're talking about software there's not much of a chance

ps: the ram in your sig can't be used with your motherboard or any AMD motherboard

Guys, guys leave the guy alone, we all lie a little on the internet maybe... Even if its something small :p please dont get sidetracked, this threads sposed to be about me getting a mini or not however my mind is 95% made up that I am buying one tommorow as I quite enjoyed using it :)

Thanks for all the replies guys, you all kick ass !

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
