And built-in speakers which aren't actually total crap. The high-end Mini/low-end iMac decision is easy.

Post #291,830 by admin 8/28/07 9:04:45 PM Reply	Nope... I just received an email from Apple: Now featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo for blazing speed, Mac mini comes loaded with the new iLife '08 suite of software so you can get the most from your movies, photos, and music. Mac mini works perfectly with nearly any USB keyboard and mouse, and any DVI or VGA display. Mac mini\ufffdanother example of why bigger isn't always better.

Yeah, it's cheap for a Mac, but still... Cheers, Scott. (Who would probably just hide the box away rather than buy something that small.)
