IOW, if Edwin had bought a Mac Mini, he would have found his assessment of it too generous. He would have had made a $600-$800 mistake. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **

where you want to be able to easily lock it down and position it, etc.
Larger computers can be locked down easily. In fact, if theft is your concern, you're probably better off without a computer that fits in somebody's pocket.
