Apple Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
QuickTake:
Pros: Fast new Core 2 Duo processor compares well with competing Windows desktops; useful iLife '08 software; supersmall chassis remains unique in the mainstream desktop market.
Cons: Comparable slim Windows desktops offer more features for the dollar, as well as expandability; no information from Apple on whether you'll have to pay for a Leopard upgrade two months from now; free phone support for only 90 days.

It was a welcome surprise when Apple quietly updated the Mac mini to include Intel Core 2 Duo processors.

QuickTake:
Pros: Decent Core 2 Duo processor produces an impressive speed boost, larger hard drive is welcome, small form factor is useful, price remains good, includes iLife '08 and remote control
