Story: Is the Mac mini good value?
Posted by: Mac guru (Thursday 13 January 2005, 11:07 PM)
Forget the comparative costs of add-ons, etc. There's a huge market of folks who have simply gotten disgusted by and frustrated with the Microsoft world (viruses, spyware, Windows taking control,and so forth) and are looking for an escape.
The mini Mac gives them an easy and affordable way to try the Mac, to switch to it. Simply spend the $500 and hook up their current keyboard, mouse, and monitor and they're all set!!
They'll fall in love with the Mac, discover how well it works, how stable & headache free it is, and become Mac converts. And you know the zealotry of the converted!
They'll start promoting it with their friends, neighbors, and will eventually buy iBooks and higher end Macs. This is the beginning of an easy tripling or quadrupling of the Mac share of the computer market.
