People who "don't do much with a computer" happens to define the huge majority of non-corporate computer use and not a small percentage of corporate use. Fact is, most people do E-mail, web browsing, music, You-Tube, manage their digital pictures and little else with their computers. A Mac Mini is more than adequate for all of those.
Glorb
Says the man who doesn't use a Mac Mini. A 120 GB HD is adequate for music, pictures and movies? Pul-lease! That's a bad joke. The RAM and VRAM are even worse jokes.
George Graves
They are more than adequate for most users.
GlorbI have a Mac mini and it's more than adequate for those things.
Says the man who has no Mac Mini, and who thinks everybody else are peons.

If one edits high-def videos, burns video DVDs,
Glorb
Lots of people burn video DVDs George.
Uh, George?What about it? A Mac mini is perfect for DVD burning, it even supports dual layer burning.
George Graves
does CAD/CAM, crunches numbers for statistical analysis, etc., then the computer is inadequate. But few people do those things - especially at home.
Glorb
It seems to me that you crafted your opinion on what people use a computer for to fit within the limitations of the Mac Mini.
George Graves
No, I crafted my opinion from observing what most people actually do with their home computers.
GlorbDo you think your observations are more valid than his, or your pre-crafted conclusion, Edwin?
Bull! Try "observing" more than what fits the conclusion you crafted in advance.
But of course a super user such as yourself needs far more than the common, unwashed masses do, right, George?
George Graves
I could probably get by with a Mac mini. I do mostly Desktop Publishing, some photo and HD movie editing, and music recording and editing.
GlorbMy employee does all his work on a Mac mini, works like a charm.
Anything is possible for somebody who isn't actually going to do it.
