Comments about Apple 750GB Mac mini with 2.7GHz Intel Core i7:
I purchased the Mac Mini to be used as part of a new digital darkroom setup. I was a Mac user many years ago and had gone over the the "dark side" due to specific application requirements. I can't tell you how good it feels to sit in front of such an elegant OS again. No reboots, no lockups, no Windows. Computing heaven.
In regards to the digital darkroom, this is a great computer for that purpose. I perform all my post processing with Capture NX2 processing RAW Nikon files. Anyone who has used CNX2 knows that it is a bit of a memory hog and of course the Nikon RAW files can be quite large. The Mac Mini has never hiccuped once.
Absolutely acceptable processing speeds period. And when you factor the very reasonable price for Mac Mini it rates as a true computing bargain.
