I Love Macs, but
you can get a new one with specs that blow away this computer for only 100-200 more. This is great for everyday computing. Internet, docs. But if you run editing software, record and edit music, or are a download junkie. Spend the extra 100 or take the time to shop around. Has tiger OSX which was great for PRO TOOLS , but half gig memory won't cut it.
PS///you risk breaking computer changing the memory, very delicate, made in mac mini' early stages.

Basic functions only; too slow for anything else
Perhaps I have the wrong tool for the job - I occasionally design posters and edit photographs and I wanted the mac mini to 1) investigate a possible switch to mac and 2)try out a dual core processor.
The machine does fine for web browsing and document editing, but open up photoshop, illustrator, and a 24 x 36" poster at 300 dpi, and this machine grinds to a halt. I literally spend hours waiting on the machine to open, save, resize, etc. files - If I get too much going at once I'll just have to sit with a beach ball for several minutes...
I sometimes get error messages about not having enough memory to perform certain tasks.
About the dual core - perhaps it's because of other bottlenecks, but I can tell absolutely no difference versus single core. The machine is still as sluggish and non-responsive as a single core when an intensive task is running in the background.
Obviously this machine wasn't designed for such a task - I plan to upgrade to a macbook pro soon. Just take it from someone who's tried that this machine won't handle graphic art.
What it has been is an excellent introduction to Mac OSX and its differences from windows. I suppose that's exactly what this machine was designed for - basic tasks and introduction to mac, in hopes of converting the user to pricier apple machines. If that's its purpose, it's been very successful!

Quality Mac Product
I am a Mac addict, of course. I love everything about it. It runs cool, fits into a small space, runs properly, no glitches, etc. I've attached two external drives to it for more storage, this works great for me so I can take my portable drive when I need to. I have my stereo, printer, monitor, hub, high speed modem, and more hooked up to it. Love my Mac!!!

Bad replacement experience
The 2nd day delivery delivered a defect product. Took several weeks and a lot of emails to get a replacement. Then I found new version posted on the website right after I got the replacement.
That means it took me several weeks to get an outdated product even though I used 2nd day delivery service. What a bad experience.

Great little Mac
I've been using this mac for almost two months and I don't have any complaint, it works excellent and the Mac OS X is very easy to use. I connected this to a LCD 32" and looks beautiful. Until now I have not needed more RAM (more than 512MB) but I'm planning to add 2 GB (1.5 GB more). If you want to use heavy software for work (like photoshop or similar software) you should better have to get a mac with better CPU and RAM. Next gen videogames doesn't run smoothly in a mac mini, probably the old (-good) ones does (like starcraft) or those before 2005 but the actual ones I think they don't.
For web surfing, word processor, email, some simple videogames and light applications it's a good choice.
