Best design among budget desktops; decent performance for its price; best performance-per-watt on the market.

Abstract: It's a testament to the brilliance of the design that, as far as any consumer is likely to notice, it has barely changed since its inception. A look around the rear of this system reveals a notably changed port arrangement than on preceding mod...
The Apple Mac mini (Late 2009) is now more compelling than ever as a compact computer that's built to very high standards, and including a feature set unmatched by any other PC on any platform. Whether used as a space-saving desktop PC for the office...
