      Looks cool. Although having a smaller PC doesn't really buy me any space.

        Very cool still. If I had the money, I'd buy one just because apples are purrty.

        There's an Opera in my macbook.

          But what do you do with it? I'd only get a Mac if I were doing graphics or audio, and somehow I don't think that's a very graphics and audio editing savvy computer.

            You buy it for your wife as a present since she only browses the web, checks email and listens to music. Then, when nobody is around you tinker with it and overclock it and make it look prettier and....MWAHAHAHA!

              I think it would be hard to make it look prettier.


              But I'd like to have an OS X box. A *nix box with professional applications? I'd love it.

              Windows is for games these days.

                You buy it to go with that nice new iPod pregnancy tes... err... shuffle.

                Actually I'm thinking of getting one to use as a media centre of sorts. Having a central place for access to photos and music (since I use iPhoto and iTunes heavily) that the rest of the family can get to on their own would be nice.

                  Do they indicate the melting temperature ???

                  I mean the cube had so many heat issues, this one is even smaller so it's very likely to melt down

                  The good point though is that it's a Mac you won't see...

                    I see the fan vents on the back.

                    The cube was fanless, I think.

                    Plus, the aluminum case has to help some, assuming they used the exposed metal wisely.

                          Easier to keep it patched than a windows box I would think.

                              Nice things like having services OFF by default help keep it more secure.
