Yeah, it's not like every windows computer has a rin -3 vulnerability built in that give anyone access to the computer, the hardware, andthe firmware. Oh, wait... That's because they don't. Anybody with any brains knows about the AMT management I/F and simply turns it off. Apple users are stupid. |

We've got two like that here are they are perfectly adequate, speed-wise. Because, as Apple users, your standards for security and performance are low.

Yeah, because adding RAM to a Mac Mini is soooooo complicated. 8 gig memory is plenty for most people, certainly for parents who aren't likely to be doing much more than web surfing and email. you were also talking about hd versus ssd speeds, not memory. since you're trying to move the goalposts, it's clear that you're lying.

A Mac Mini purchased from Best Buy doesn't offer a "choice," you ****. yes it does. best buy and other resellers sell every configuration.

The fact that Apple uses an HD in a default configuration and still charges top dollar is a testament to what kind of thieves run that social justice clown company. it's not apple's fault if best buy was out of stock of the other configurations. they could have gone to another store or ordered online with next day delivery. imacs and mac minis offer a choice of hd, hybrid or ssd. macbooks are entirely ssd. not a single hd in the lineup.

Prices are similar only at the high end. Most people do not buy high end. I can buy an excellent PC laptop for much less than $1000 Canadian. What does the cheapest Macbook cost? Well over $1000 actually my sister just bought a Macbook Air and it was $1200 Canadian and the specs are low for that Macbook. I can buy a PC laptop with a much better cpu, bigger screen, 1tb or bigger Hdd and 8 to 16 GB of Ram for about $800 at Bestbuy. You always say that the prices are comparable but that is a lie. I used the word 'lie' because that seems to be the way you often respond to people. You rude little ****. |

Everywhere that sells Macs can order a build-to-order model for a customer ... but few bother to advertise that fact nor say what the possible options are. On the other hand, most people buying a brand new car will always ask for the "options list". |

I should also mention that her $1200 Macbook Air has the ram soldered to the motherboard so she can't upgrade the ram at all. What a ripoff that is! You can upgrade or replace the ram on a PC laptop easily. Macbook airs are throwaways if anything goes wrong with the ram. Total ripoff! I also call bull**** to your claim that 'Macs often cost less'. That is another lie you like to tell. My sisters Macbook looks real nice, I will give you that. Too bad the Macbook air is built with low-grade parts and has such limited upgrade ability. The phrase "a pig with lipstick" comes to mind. |

I bought one earlier this year to replace a dead 18-year-old PowerMac G3, and the Mac mini is much faster than that was. It used to take a few minutes to produce a PDF from Adobe InDesign on the G3, but it is a lot quicker on the Mac mini. :-) Having said that, the Mac mini has not really been updated since late 2014, so it is a bit behind the likes of the more recently updated iMac, Apple's laptops, and many Windoze boxes. |

Then there is the magical backup where data goes into the iCloud and simply disappears, never to be found again. |
