The 1.42Ghz, 80gb Mac Mini is a budget Apple (Macintosh) desktop. What we have today with the Mini is simply the most accessible Mac yet. $500 is a critical price point, but that's only a third of the story. The second third is the remarkably friendly design of this computer. People don't want big, noisy, power-hungry boxes, as Apple realized after shipping the notorious "wind-tunnel" Power Macs and early Xserves. Whether you're in a home or office or server room, compact size, quiet operation and low power usage are all real benefits. And the Mac Mini excels in all those areas.
