GlorbA typical ~8MP JPG is 2.5MB, so a photo directory of 10,000 images is only 25GB on average.

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.
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.120 GB is plenty for lots of of folks, Edwin. I admit, I don't have the largest iPhoto library at only 1400 photos, but if I had 5 times as many, it would still only occupy about one sixth of a 120GB drive.
For music, 5 *days* worth of iTunes will suck down a whopping 10GB.
System folder...another 2GB.
Gosh, we're still under 40GB used.
Need I continue?
A rip of a full feature length movie DVD with Handbrake: <1GB. 400+ Documents (Word, Excel, etc): 4GB Mailbox with 10,000 messages (including Spam): <1GB
GlorbSpoken with all the credibility that's afforded to a coward's freshly minted sockpuppet :-)
What you say doesn't count because you're too wacked in the head to remember who you're answering.
In the meantime, roughly half of all new PC sales are of laptops...guess what size HD's they typically have?
