Dependson the circumstances....
The Mini is ment for a n"upgrade" machine or one to customize and leave Apple's
pre-made options out of the picture such as keyboard, mouse and monitor. Now
"IF" I have an older Dell that uses USB and a fine flat screen monitor attached to
said a Mini would be cool I gane a core duo, I keep the ability to use my old Dell's
software and I gain access to OSX now some of this might not have value to you
but it will to others. No matter how you slice it my Mac can do it all and your Dell
can not. That has value to some...not all but some and all Apple needs is some.
As for the "tire-kicker" crowd Dell can have them.....of late they've really been
good for Dell's stock price and bottom line...Oh wait a minute no they haven't..:P
