User Review
To tell you the truth, I am still getting used to my Mac Mini so this may not be the best review, but as a 20 year PC user, I finally made the switch.
Is it different? Yes.
Is it confusing? At times it is, but the more I use it, the better I like it.
I do like the processing speed for movies and graphics. I was finally able to covert the two hours of HD video from my in-laws vacation into a movie, although I had to buy a Samsung DVD writer ($29 on Amazon) because there is no optical drive. My son, who has an iPhone and Macbook pro, is helping me with a few things and the interconnectivity of all the Apple devices is cool. I guess my next phone will be an iPhone. User
