PC or Mac?

It's March 9th, 2006. My PC at home broke down a few days ago and have been looking for a CPU. I am not sure why it broke, but I hoped it was not the hard drive. So I started looking around at Dell and other brands and the cost for a CPU with 1GB RAM, decent chip, graphic card, sound card, mobo, etc was SGD 1,200 to 1,500. Then it struck me.. Why not look at a Mac?

So I step into Funan Mall and went to the AppleCentre who my colleague RX recommended. And guess what they had just brought in?



And the spec?
MAC MINI CORE DUO
1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor
2MB L2 Cache
667MHz Frontside Bus
1GB memory (667MHz DDR2 SDRAM)
80GB Serial ATA hard drive
Double-layer SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0
Apple Remote

The Price? SGD 1,488 - for something that is about 1/10th the size of a PC CPU!

But there is a price for being an early adopter. Cool as the thing is....
