Spot recommendation
We would recommend going for the Mac Mini Duo if you are starting to get tired with the Windows operating system and want to give the Mac world a try. The Duo is much more powerful than the Solo and a DVD writer is essential in media recording. Taking into account the softwares bundled the Mac does not appear to be that much more expensive than a PC. The Mac OS X Tiger is indeed impressive and outpaced Windows XP. Windows has always lagged behind the Mac operating system in term of innovations. The other advantage of the Mac is that it is less prone to cyber attacks. Mac users are less likely to be encouter problems with virus, spywares and malwares. One of the most appealing factor of the Mac is its simplicity and elegancy. Once you enter its realm you may never want to go out.
