Yeah. When I PC site says a mac sucks, you can only wonder.

I still like the PC magazins quote: "5 out of 5 stars." Definatly not a biased mag...

I can't see any ingredients, but maybe I am just blind, if someone wanted to type them in a post, that would be nice. Also, I still want to get one of these, but I may not, I just remembered I have a 2ghz cpu(amd, because they are better at the floating point math used in 3d work.) and a mach-speed 2npap lite nvidia based mobo in my closet! How stupid I feel

Edit: Time to go off to tigerdirect and newegg and get the rest of the pieces I need... hey, it only adds up to my total lifetime salary! IT really sucks not having a job

Macs look cool but don't have that stuff to back it up. Wait for the micro itx and makr that into a portable pc. Way cooler. Thats me though. Mac's just don't have the stuff you know?

No, I don't know. What "stuff" are you refering to?

I agree with black six, the 1.45ghz mini mac is probably as good as a 2 or greater ghz cpu running windows. and what do you mean a "nano" cennar? is that an old type of mac or something?

Well the thing is that Macs are better at doing multitasking so for things that call for that they work faster, but for the most part it is closer to being on par with the same clock speed, maybe 2gh. The thing is if you have a p4 withoug HT then the PPC chip wins otherwise the P4 with HT is going to perform much faster. The thing that makes it work better is for the most part the OS (UNIX baby!).

And for Cennar saying nano I think he is refuring to the new itx mobos that are due to come out soon. I plan to buy one myself.

I'm getting a Nano ITX mobo to build myself a portable pc, they seem really good.

I thought that but wasn't sure, I hope you guys tell me how you portable pc's go, I may want to build one of my own
