I never thought I would say this, but I am now a proud owner of a Mac computer. As Macs have been gaining more market share and the need to do testing on a mac is coming up shortly, I went out and purchased the mini.
Now I have used a mac a few times in the past, but not any of the new ones. When I got it setup in the office I was very surprised on how well it performed for such a small package.
I also loaded a bunch of photos into iPhoto, its is very easy to add photos and remove what you don’t want and enhance what you do.
Also the new iWeb is nice for layouts. I have yet to find the time to get PHP 5.2.X installed to do some development as well. Who knows, it might become a development machine.
Just a few drawbacks I have seen so far. 1. The mini has only one DVI port, so without headache, dual monitors is out of the question. and 2. iWeb’s gallerys require a .mac account. I have found plugins that allow your own hosting, but it is a pain to use. Plus for all the bashing Apple does on PC’s about being so creative, why cant I be creative on my own web space?
That’s just a quick review on a new mac user after having it for a day or two.
