    The only reason to consider a Mac Mini would be if you had shares in Apple. The spec is appalling for the money. Higher price equals higher profits for Apple NOT better build quality. If you want to save money on a money saving forum buy a desktop PC that can be upgraded/repaired so cheaply and easily.

    Slimline desktop PC, such as the Dell ones?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Sure, and spend all of your spare time troubleshooting malware/adware and other junk that come as standard with windows pc's. Or you can buy a Mac with an OS that lets you get on with your work without the headaches......your move.

    A forum is not a country and you are quite annoying, to the point that you are on ignore even though I've never had any kind of debate with you.
    In case you think that I'm taking sides...RumRat is on ignore too

    Unless you really need the space saving from a miniPC or all-in-one, go for a normal desktop and buy a good monitor. Much easier to upgrade (mostly customer-servicable) and you can do it piecemeal.

    I've been using the same monitor for the last 3 base units, something that's just not possible with an all-in-one.

    Like I care that some sanctimonious windows d*ck has me on ignore. Go back to your crappy £15k desktop support position. Like I said before, it's a public forum, you don't control any part of it.
