Okay. Again in lieu of having a real review and still waiting to get my hands on one of these babies to try out and play with a bit, I’ll let everyone see PC World’s first look review of the Mac Mini.So far their impressions include words like “solid” and “stable,” which are good considering the mini’s size-I was somewhat concerned that something so small might not be a solid machine, but I’m glad to see that’s not the case.
Also, it looks like there’s a lack of USB ports on the poor thing, it’s got two, one of which is needed for the keyboard, and if you can’t plug the mouse into a port on the keyboard, then you’ll have none for other peripherals. That’ll matter to people looking to use the Mini as a desktop computer, but if you’re using it for something else-or using a wireless keyboard and mouse-you won’t care too much. Looks like an excellent starter Mac (thinking about getting it as a replacement for my parents’ aging blueberry iMac-not that they don’t use their PC for everything anyway) or maybe an excellent add-on Mac for people who would like to play with one, but don’t want to drop cash on a more expensive Mac flavor.
