Looking at the sleek designs of Apple .. That overpriced company eveyone loves and hates
The New Mac mini ( without any DVD drive) is probably the only one I can affort
So do you own one and is it worth it ? .........
VS getting an Imac for more $$$$$
You MUST actually OWN ONE .... I base reviews on REAL experiences

My first question is: why? Why a Mac Mini / iMac and not any other PC? Design of the machine? Running OS X?
I don't own a Mac Mini myself, but here's a good review by my favourite tech site: Ars Technica Mac Mini Review. It looks like a decent little machine, but only if you don't want to use it for high-end purposes.
I seriously wouldn't recommend the new generation of iMacs if upgrading components is ever a going to be an issue. You'll have to tear off the glass and take the whole thing apart just to upgrade RAM. Together with the lack of optical drive and slow 5400 RPM hard drive (in the lower configuration) it doesn't give you enough value for money.
If you just want to run OS X, you can also build your own PC and run OS X on it as a "Hackintosh". I did that about two months ago and while I was sceptical at first I'm really impressed by how fast and stable it is. It runs better than Ubuntu and feels more natural than Windows.

Mac laptops though... I just hear people regretting them constantly. Everyone I know with a Mac has the Windows OS as well. That's just silly.

And yeah, since mac got popular the quality have proportionally gotten worse. There is a median somewhere where quality = goodSize - (size * -1)
