[citation][nom]tayb[/nom]Wow. Talk about a blatant rip off of the Mac Mini. It literally looks as if the Dell design team walked into an Apple store, bought a Mac Mini, gave it a paint job, took out the good hardware, and re-sold it a lower price point. Are you kidding me?Jeez. At least the Mac Mini comes with a Core 2, 9400m, and a slot loading drive. I suppose I can't complain at $659 with a 20" LCD but at least give the options to upgrade it beyond that crap of a CPU. If you price this thing from the ground up without the thrown in LCD the Mac Mini is actually a better deal given the hardware. Of course when you throw in a 20" LCD it changes the deal but the hardware cap sucks.[/citation]
The "new, beefier" mac mini is still locked into the 9400m (which is a lot slower than the HD4330) and it shares video ram, AND the mini has a max of 4gb installed ram. If you are looking for a unit for gaming, the Dell is the way to go. If you are into CPU intensive apps, the Mini wins with the faster C2D just don't burn your house down running folding @home.
