Awesome home system
Just purchased am already very happy with the decision. This was a replacement system that I purchased for my wife - I am the home tech support resource and I was tired of constantly having to keep her system patched, updated and rebuilt (from XP to Vista SP1) in order to fight off ad/malware that was constantly infecting it.
Even though the hardware spec's for the Mini are lighter than the Vista system that it replaced, it is much snappier in browsing and using the included applicat...

Best Mac value available on the market today.
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) I purchased this unit for $600 new from Amazon. I opened it up right out of the box and installed 4GB of ram and a 500GB hard drive. Those parts cost me $160 brand new. Now I have a machine with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB of DD3 1067MHz ram, 256MB discrete (the card is discrete, only the...

The new Mac Mini is smokin'!
This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) I am moving from an older (see previous reviews) Mac Mini to this one.
I decided to make the move for the new video card - NVIDIA (the old video was shared Intel), the new DDR3 RAM (old one DDR2) and the faster front side bus 1066 Mhz (old one was 667Mhz).
I maxed out the RAM at 4 GB - which automatically maxes out the shared video to 256 MB Video RAM.
NOTE: you don't h...

You gotta love these little guys
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) I bought 4 of the minis, upgraded them myself (although I have never opened a computer in my life) to 4gb RAM and to 7200 RPM 320gb WD hard drives. Online video tutorials made it easy. I use a spatula with a 3 inch by 1.5 inch stainless steel blade and the minis open easily and quickly, wi...

fast, silent and solid
This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) This is my second Mini--my first was an early 2006 Mini w. I've been using the new Mini for a couple of weeks now, and couldn't be happier. While my first Mini was mostly whisper-quiet, this one is silent. The graphics capability are finally good with this new version, and I don't think it would be an exaggeration to call it a very stable little workhorse. I couldn't be happier, and I make my living in...

Mac Mini low end model. A much better buy!
This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) So I got one of these little bad boys (the cheaper model) from the apple store the day after they came out. With a student discount it came out to be just under $600 after tax, so I figured why wait for it to be available on amazon for the same price.
I just ordered 4GB of ram for around $65 after tax and shipping. Just read on a few forums that once you put another gig of ram into the new l...

A Powerful Machine For Many Things
This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) This Mac mini builds on the success of the last one. The biggest upgrade to the machine is the new graphics. With this change, movies and games perform much better.
Items of clarification: Currently the description on Amazon lists 4 USB ports, but there are actually five.
Also, the Mac mini no longer comes with an Apple Remote so if you're looking to use it as a media server, yo...

A wonderful media center
We bought the Mac Mini to use as a media center and as a replacement Mac to our old eMac family computer.
The Mini is connected to our 47" HDTV using an HDMI-to-DVI cable and the included miniDVI-to-DVI adapter. Analog audio is connected to our 5.1 home theater system. For internet access, it's connected through our home wireless-n (802.11n) network. The colors are rich and we enjoy 1920x1080 screen resolution.. No black borders, it's a full screen view.
We also bought the ...

meh, great with lower expectations
This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) I'm a mac user. I own a powerbook g4 and a 24" imac g5. I use a quad powermac at work. I've also used a newer powerbook and this mac mini for work. The mini, is the only machine that I wouldn't want to use for serious graphic design/media work. It runs a processor that is as close to as fast as most of those other machines, but for some reason it seems really doggy when doing some photoshop and il...

VGA adaptor not included
This review is from: Apple Mac mini MB463LL/A Desktop (Personal Computers) I initially purchased the MB138LL. I was completely happy with this purchase until a week later the next version came out (mb463ll) that improved nearly every feature for the same price. With Amazon's great refund policy, I returned the item for a full refund and purchased the mb463ll.
First, the product (mb463ll) does not include the VGA adaptor. The description says it does, but it does n...
