At $500, I think it’s time to start thinking about trying a Mac mini. People have been ranting and raving to me for the last year or two that I need a Mac. At this price for such a tiny little thing, I don’t know if I could pass it up. Although I think the $500 is a bit deceiving. I’d need to get a wireless card and probably a bump in RAM at the least. I’m guessing that takes it up above $600. Still something to think about.
