Minis Fall Short: Page 2 of 5

A lot of advantages the Mac once had over the PC are gone. Sure, my PC still has color-coded connectors. Nevertheless, it was easier to connect my desktop monitor, keyboard and mouse to my laptop than it was to hook up legacy equipment to the Mac Mini.

To be honest, I like Macs. But why would I even consider the Mini--or any Mac, for that matter--when the same money will buy me a nifty, ready-to-use PC laptop that's compatible with my keyboard, monitor and inexpensive MP3 player?
