The Mac mini is the stepping stone to the Mac club. It is the cheapest way you can use Mac OS legally. Unfortunately, the new mini is no longer cheap. The older version used to come in two models, one of which, although fairly stripped off, was quite a...
PerformanceIn terms of design and form factor, PCs that come closest to this one are nettops, but the same cannot be said about performance. Be it for video editing, audio encoding, processing images using design suites, or for casual multimedia, the p...

If you want a desktop Mac, but can’t face spending upwards of a grand, this is where it is. Pair it with your existing keyboard and monitor and you’ll not only save stacks of space, you’ll have the full Mac experience too.Best offers for the Mac MiniAm...
