WARNING: it picks up sound even if it's turned OFF
I had this microphone for a long time and I loved it.

Until I was on Skype and my friend told me to get closer to my microphone, because he can't hear me well. Then I realized that my microphone was not even turned on! Once I turned it on, the volume was of course normal.

But this incident showed me that you can't trust this microphone. If you turn it off, the volume will lower, that's all.

I confirmed the problem with the Sound Recorder app.

It's unbelievable, but true! Please try it yourself and then help to spread the word!

A Great Mic
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this microphone. It's clear, easy to use, easy to set up and cheap. But one thing is for sure to me. This is not a professional microphone used for making soundtracks so if you want one like that, do not get this one. If its for talking online or singing with no music, I would totally recommend this.

Really great.
The microphone overall works well. You don't have to know anything about anything to install. The clarity is just great. The fact I don't like wearing headsets while gaming makes it really convenient for me. Not really anything to complain about.....5 stars.

Uh very unlucky situation :

The first I noticed when I opened this, even with the label saying something like "Great Packaging from Amazon"...something like that, the Microphone was crack and broken at the bottom. This obviously just one of those unlucky situations and I didn't return it for some reason. Even with that, I just put rubber bands at the bottom. Still satisfied but wished I gave extra effort to get a replaced one.

I can't believe what I got for as little as I paid.
This microphone is, to put it simply, AWESOME. I am using it to record video reviews via the web and the sound quality is amazing. I had a noisy toddler in the next room and it did not pick up any background noise - this was my major concern. For the price, you CANNOT beat this thing. I am not a tech-savvy individual...but the ease of use was great. Just plug it in and away you go!

PC microphone
I bought this for my son, and he's pleased with it, so I have no complaints. It did arrive quickly and in great condition.

Good computer, good price
I was looking for a reasonably priced computer to replace the one I had, and was pleased with the price, initial quality, and ease to set up of this computer. When it arrived, I was frightened, as the amazon.com box it came in was almost completely destroyed, but the box and computer itself were fine. Otherwise a good purchase.

A great buy
Trust me, this computer is worth the money. It's very quick and stylish, perfect for a modern computer room. It has 3 or so USB docks, convenient for if you have a mouse, a p-drive, a camera, a phone... All that other junk that you need to strap up to your computer, you can do it all at once.

I've had it for a few months, and it's still as fast as it was when I got it. Now, I'm no computer tech, I really don't understand the details, but let me tell you, it almost overwhelmed me, all of the programs and upgrades and services this computer comes with, not to mention the cool backgrounds and designs you can customize your desktop with.

A great buy, you won't be disappointed!

The "Jury" is still out...
...because, after almost 6 hours having to endure the unproductive, absolute farce called "technical support," it was determined that the unit was shipped with defective software and has since been taken back to factory default. That done, for the one week of service, the machine seems to have been giving at least adequate performance. Part of the reason it isn't possible to offer more specific observations is that I'm new to WIN 7.

False Advertising, it advertises it comes with DDR3 ram, nope.
Only comes with DDR2 ram, I really disapprove of false advertising and wish I had saved my money. I thought I had found a good deal, but I guess not. I will be doing my shopping elsewhere from now on, I have never had any trouble with Amazon before but I do not have much money and to see it ruin my plans for a 4gb of DDR3 ram and low profile video game card for a low end gaming setup has cut me so short of money it will be another year before I can save up enough to buy another computer. Overall it is a great computer though, very nice looking on inside, I even tried installing my DDR3 ram I bought and it would not fit in the board. If you don't care about DDR3 your golden.

Decent and Totally Serviceable
Well I just received this computer about two days ago, but despite this, I think I can make a pretty good assessment about its pros and cons thus far. I'll begin by saying that from an aesthetic viewpoint, this computer looks very nice. The case itself is matte, but the front bezel itself is a nice, glossy finish that really does look nice, all things considered. It has two USB 2.0 ports on the front as well as jacks for both headphones and a microphone, so no need to reach around to the back of the unit if you don't feel like it. Oh yes, just so you're not as confused as I was at first, the power button is technically located on what would be your right hand side if the computer's front is facing you, situated near the top of the case. The button is illuminated by a somewhat irritating bright blue LED, a lighting choice that seems to have become popular in the computer market these days, so it's kind of a take it or leave it thing depending on how you feel about such. The only ridiculous part of the external design is, in my opinion, the terribly designed bay for the DVD reader. A plastic flap obscures the drive itself, and to open it, one presses a silver button directly underneath this flap. Now this is all fine and dandy until you try to use it: would a nuclear power plant have a computer monitoring the reactor that is rendered inoperable after turning it on? The same issue takes place here--the plastic flap actually flips over the button itself after opening, making it a totally unnecessary fiasco to press the button again to let the drive read a placed disc. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that after a few uses the flap becomes a little stiff; it will show some difficulty closing after the drive door recedes. This is not anything severe, but you will probably have to push it closed manually. There's one more big issue that came up, actually: NO CASE FAN. I'm surprised this evaded my notice for so long. This computer should run pretty cool, and a case fan can run anywhere from $5-20, but the fact that they didn't include this is actually really underhanded if this is HP's idea of "cutting costs." Still, it hasn't blown up on me yet, and a fan is shipping in the mail. 1/2 point off.

The hardware itself is decent; nothing mindblowing in this box to be sure. Two gigs' worth of DDR3 memory should give this computer some decent punch, but why not upgrade to four and max out its potential?***NOTE*** Apparently Amazon was wrong about the memory type. Another reviewer found it to be DDR2 memory instead of DDR3, so plan accordingly before purchasing!***NOTE*** The PSU is 250 watts, I believe. This should be enough to power everything on board adequately, but in case you were intending to add a second hard drive or add a graphics card, upgrading the power supply may be wise. In any case, it only comes with two power couplings for SATA-type devices, both of which are already in use by the hard drive and DVD drive. It does have some older MOLEX-type adaptors, however, and the motherboard hosts one IDE slot. I do have to mention that the power supply is kind of a pain in the rear to remove, though. The box also hosts one PCI slot, two PCI-e and one PCI-e16, I think. I'll verify this later. Graphics are integrated--not what you would want for gaming, but I find they're adequate enough to play PoxNora online with minimal hiccups, so it can carry you through in many cases. Processor is an AMD Sempron, which is a lower level unit, although it's definitely strong enough to run Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit without any issue. I'm having the hardest time finding out what's the biggest processor the motherboard will take, however; even the HP website and several manuals I've read thus far seem not to be willing to divulge this useful bit of knowledge. Overall, though, I think I can recommend this one as a purchase, especially for this ridiculously low price.

***EDIT*** They (Amazon) just lowered this PC's price to under $300 for a few days. It has since went back up to the default price, sadly. I'm not sure if that means I bought a lemon, but this is a definite must buy if you need decent computing power and the latest Windows OS at a price so low it could be called criminal. Just remember that Windows7 Home Premium does have some compatibility problems with older programs...to remedy this, you will need to change to either Professional or Ultimate.

Great mouse, great value!
I was worried about purchasing this mouse since there were so many mixed reviews but I've had it for over a month now and have no problems what so ever. It really works on any surface: carpet, bed, couch, dining room table, etc.. It doesn't come with instructions but all I did was put in some batteries and connect the usb and my laptop took care of the rest. I didn't have to synchronize it or anything else so really there was no need for instructions. So far the battery life is good. It automatically shuts down if you dont use it which is a plus because there have been plenty of time I put my laptop down and left the mouse "on". It also turns off when you insert the receiver in the usb dock.

The only problem I have so far is that I have not been able to use it corded but I purposely bought a wireles mouse so it's not really an issue for me. Judging by the other reviews the only benefit of being able to use it corded is that it will recharge your batteries.

This is definitely a good buy and would recommend it to anyone.

Worked great until the computer shut down
I liked everything about these mice (we bought two for two netbooks) until they started shutting down the netbooks. Everything was going fine and suddenly the netbook would just turn off. This happened the first day. We ended up returning them and ordering 2 Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mice Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 - Dragon Fruit Pink, one pink and one red. They work fine with no shutdowns.

Loved it for the few days it worked
Pros: Great price, nice design, loved the USB storage space
Cons: Malfunctioned after a few days, cursor would jump all around the screen without moving the mouse, became useless... also no instructions on the packaging, couldn't figure out what the USB retractable cord was even for as mouse didn't function when plugged in

I'm giving it two stars because I'm assuming not all of them malfunction, and though I do like the design and price, I'm returning it and ordering another brand. Why risk another week with no mouse just to save a couple bucks?

love my mouse
i ordered my mouse for my laptop as I was sick of fighting with the scroll bar and I just love it. It works great and holds the batteries a long time. I would recommend this particular mouse to everyone. Bev

good mouse for the money
I have 2 of these and i am about to purchase a 3rd. I use it on both Macs and PCs, laptops and Desktops. Using one as I write this on my MacBook Pro. My other died, so I will be sending it back, but this one works fine. You need to use the USB dongle in order for this item to work. This is not a bluetooth device. The dongle fits inside unit when it is not in use. It also lights up when active. If you do not move it for a few minutes it will go to sleep (lights go off) move it and it will start back up pretty quick. It is a wireless mouse so I am not sure how the other reviewer thought that it would work, yes it takes batteries, I use rechargeables and they last a few months before recharge.

Excellent Computer
I purchased this to replace a nine year old Dell desktop. It is very easy to set up and I was able to get up and running in minutes. It has plenty of power for my puposes and is very easy to operate. Being an all-in-one, it takes up much less space than my old computer. I would highly recommend this computer. It has all the advantages of a desktop, but takes up little more space than a laptop.

HP all in one computer
Love this computer. Shipper overnight. It came in a box all in one piece. Easy to set up and get going. Computer is very fasy. Video works pretty good. all in all I am very happy with it.

HP All-in-One Computer

The computer came in two days and I set it up in about 15 minutes. Everything was automatic, I hardly had to do a thing. It has a beautiful picture on the monitor. I am very pleased.

totally satisfied
This product met all of my expectations right out of the box. The great looks and ease of use are incredible. After set up and testing the internal speakers for sound quality which were excellent I tried the head phone jack and got awesome digital sound. The wireless key board and mouse looks great and seem to be of good quality not to mention the extra room i now have. I feel this is a modestly priced unit for the screen size and picture quality. So far so satisfied.

I love it so far
I just got this computer and set it up last night. Just had to comment on how great it is so far! Everything was very easy to set up. It took me longer to dismantle my old computer equipment than it did to set this new one up! I was surprised to find that the keyboard and mouse that come with it are wireless. I was not expecting that. But it comes with the wireless provider to plug in the back, so it's all good. I actually prefer my old trackball mouse, so will probably get an adapter for that (this computer only uses USB ports) and not use the wireless mouse. I also have a very old printer with the old style of hookup (the prongs with a screw on each side). But I know I can get an adapter for that as well, and plug it into a USB port on this new computer. I had no trouble connecting to my existing cable internet at all. I can't wait to explore more on it!

iMac 21.5 Ich Desktop Mid 2010 is Great!!
I love my new iMac. It arrived quickly and with no problems. this is my 1st Mac and im very pleased with it. It took me some time to get used to it but everything is really awesome. I would recommend this Mac to anyone.

No other desktop offers so much
This review is intended for the 21.5 iMac mid-2010 model which came out recently. Apple made a significant improvement for the iMac line and it shows: 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 processor with 4MB level 3 cache; 4 GB of RAM upgradable to 8 GB; and also an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory. Look at last year's iMacs and you'll see that this is a very tempting offer despite the $1200 price tag.

Having said that, I don't think last year's iMac owners should rush to buy these new ones. However, if you haven't upgraded your desktop Mac in over a few years or you're looking to buy your first Mac desktop, this is one unbeatable deal you should not miss.

Dead in 14 months
I had a previous version of IMAC. It died in 14 months due to mother board failure. Very disappointing.

I am an apple fan and I use Mac Book Pro but will never buy an IMAC again.

All 5 * reviews of this IMAC are from people who have used it for only few weeks as it has been out only recently.

Even though this review is for previous version of IMAC, buyers have right to know about the build quality of IMACs in general and others experience.

love it!!!
love my new mac...it's fast of course. runs great. the wireless keyboard and mouse are fun. The magic mouse does take a little getting used to. To the guy who asked about a yellow tint; no yellow tint.
It's got a great screen but still takes up such a small amount of small on my desk.
The mac i've had for 7 years still runs great but I needed the intel processor so I can run Revit. I haven't run Bootcamp yet cause Amazon is taking a week and a half to get the copy of windows I ordered to me.
As if the machine it's self wasn't enough, the process of buying a copy of windows reminds me why I love macs so much! I needed a copy of XP but paying $150 for 8 year old software is ridiculous and trying to find a legitimate copy is hard. So I had to buy a copy of windows 7 PRO because the home edition doesn't support xp programs. go figure.

Addition: I got my copy of windows 7 and installed it with Boot Camp. MS for some reason makes their default monitor driver one that is incompatible with the iMac 21.5 monitor. The easiest fix for this is to boot up from the install disk and delete the default driver. windows will then use the next available driver which is compatible. Instructions on how to do this are available on the apple support website.

Wow! The new iMac is way better then PC (Microsoft)
I have own PCs (Microsoft Windows) since I was a little kid. I am amazed that with this new Mac I have downloaded many programs and the computer runs just as fast as it did when I first opened it! I can't believe that I am editing HD videos and the computer has never crashed. With Windows Vista my computer slowed down when I downloaded programs and it would crash randomly when editing HD video.

Cons:
For someone like me who is new to Mac it does take a few days to get used too. I had to watch videos online this week to understand all the features.

Pros:
Very quiet, Comes with a mouse that has "multi touch" (a cool feature), it doesn't slow down with programs added, doesn't crash, no viruses, I can play and edit HD video without any problems, It was easy to set up (only one plug to plug in), the screen is crystal clear, with bluetooth I can connect to my phone and both keyboard and mouse are bluetooth.

In Summery:
I personally will never go back to a Microsoft Windows PC. The iMac works perfectly and is easy to set up! It is well work the money because you don't have any problems like you do with PCs. I can't believe how well this computer performs!!!

HAPPY WITH APPLE IMAC
I think I made a good decision when I purchase this Apple Imac over the and the PC. It was some what different than the PC , but when I learned How to operate it, I was so satisfied and happy. It is great and it well worth the extra money to purchase this Apple than the PC. I have had it for 8-months and I haven't had a problem with viruses. I can say that I love it and would recommend it to my friends or to anyone.

Just about perfect
I'm a graphic designer, though far from a rich one. There were many arguments for saving $400 and buying an "equivalent" PC (mostly the money), but I just love the Mac System, design, durability, and lack of virus issues too much. I've never owned a PC that lasted more than 4 years. The only Mac I've ever owned lasted 10 years, at which point I chose to replace it (could have upgraded, but that still would have only brought it up to "descent" as far as memory, disk space).
I almost went with the MacMini. A good selling point with it is that once it's outmoded, it can be plugged into your new computer and used as a backup. But with a 500Gig hard drive and awesome speed, etc., it will be quite some time before this baby is outmoded. Purchased 3 months ago and haven't had a single issue. Everyone is amazed when they see it: "Where's the computer?" is a common response. Boot Camp is an excellent addition that makes it very easy to run both Mac OS X and Windows (you'll have to purchase a copy) on the same computer, making software incompatibility a complete non-issue. The 21.5 in. monitor is a little bit smaller than I would have preferred, but makes it a much easier fit on my computer desk and makes transportation much easier too.

Apple iMac MB950LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop
A GREAT COMPUTER THIS IS MY 5TH APPLE COMPUTER EVERYTHING IS AS DESCRIBED IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY

it's not all hype
I debated getting an iMac for many years. I have been a life long PC user and was worried about switching and if I would be able to do all of the same things on a Mac. My kids had destroyed their 3rd computer and Amazon had the iMac on sale with no interest financing, so I thought now is the time. For me, there is a little bit of a learning curve coming from Windows, but all in all, I am impressed with the ease of use. I bought this for my kids, age 12 and 8. I set it up, tinkered a little, and then let my 8 yr old daughter use it while I finished some yard work. When I returned, she had setup her own email, made a few short movies, and emailed them to my mother. The kids are usually asking me how to do this or how to do that. With the Mac, they have yet to ask a question except why the internet stopped working at 10pm. Thank you, parental controls. I am very satisfied with the iMac.

Good Buy
At Amazon's current price this discontinued model is a better buy than the Mac mini which I have always favored. I like my Mac mini but for a little over $200 more you get a faster processor, a screen, bigger hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc. If I needed a computer right now, I would buy one of these while they last.

Not yet ready for prime time...
I bought this to be used as a front desk computer for a hotel that I own, and while it seems to be a pretty cool computer, the touch screen felt really cheap and the display arrived blurry... and the USB ports would recognize everything we connected to it, but when using the USB devices the entire computer would completely freeze for a while. Too bad, because I really, really like other Asus products that I own...

Slow but functional
This PC isn't going to win any speed or performance awards, but it works well, the touch screen is responsive, and it just plain works. I use it in my kitchen for watching Hulu, listening to Podcasts, and looking up recipes.

Great computer
I bought this for the wife. We have it in the kitchen and she uses it to keep her recipes, rate them, and other cooking things. The only bad thing is it did not come with a cd/dvd player. We bought a USB one however, and now she will watch movies or listen to music in the kitchen. Works great for what we use it for. It is not a gaming machine though.

Good equipment
I purchased this computer for my son for Christmas. I was a bit apprehensive to buy a touch screen for him, but I went for it. I don't regret my decision. This computer is very compact, but powerful. I considered buying the MSI computer but was not available. The only thing I miss is the CD/DVD drive that MSI does has. I was able to calibrate the touch screen without any problems. Its comes with Windows XP and ASUS quick reference program, that is worth it.I am going to upgrade this computer buying the external CD/DVD drive that is offer here at Amazon. I don't have any complains yet, I am very happy with my purchase and my son loves it.

Great machine
This is a great little machine. Excellent first Mac, media center, or "additional" Mac. Perfect for the average user.

my first Mac
While I have used computers for most of my 33 years in this world, this is the first I've ever purchased, and it is the first Mac I have ever used. Much as I can drive a car but have no idea how to change the oil, I can use a computer but have always turned to an instructor or technical support when there's a problem. If you want a highly technical product review please skip this one. If you're new to Mac or generally wary of buying a computer this review should be helpful.

First, the Mac Mini is so small I could hardly believe it. Since I bought it for an entertainment center I couldn't spare the space for a full desktop model. I connected it to my receiver with an HDMI cable from Amazon, which in turn connects to my Sharp Aquos 65" LCD HDTV. As soon as it turned on I was VERY impressed by how sharp and crisp the picture is. I did have a rather comical problem getting started though, as unknown to me the entire Mac toolbar along the top of the screen was being cut off, leading to a very confused support person having me repeatedly say "What Apple icon?! There's no such thing on my screen." Fortunately it was resolved in seconds once I knew the problem existed. I also had a hard time getting my internet connection to work initially, but that was due to my limited knowledge and not the product. By default the Mac is set to search for a wireless internet signal, a feature which had to be switched off before my wired ethernet connection would work. My Magic Mouse and Apple keyboard were detected in seconds and didn't require any setup. The SD card slot works flawlessly, so there's no need to directly connect a camera if you don't feel like digging out your USB cable.

Once the initial minor frustrations were taken care of there was no issue at all. You can set the Mac to search regularly for any updates to download from Apple so it will always run smoothly. There are help menus if you can't find something. The "Dock", the name given to the software icons along the bottom of the screen, takes some getting used to. If you're new to Mac the icons aren't very intuitive. Still, this is a review of the machine and not the software, so no points off for my own learning curve. Everything I try to do, from saving images to using iPhoto, involves getting familiar with new software, but it always works as it should. Just make sure you shut down completely and turn the Mac back on after downloading any system update, as failing to do so led to the DVD player not functioning until I did.

One feature I love is something called the Dashboard, which with the click of an icon appears on your screen with "widgets", windows of your choice with various features. I have a local weather forecast with current conditions, a calculator, sports score updates and countless other things at my fingertips without having to do a web search any more. It's positively brilliant.

I'm sorry to say that the manual is of almost no help at all when it comes to learning the software. The Apple home page is there when you open the web browser and they do have guides, but a book that lays it all out for me would be preferable. With so many Mac owners being first timers, that's a corner they shouldn't have cut.

Newcomers should know that the disk drive loads differently than you may expect. There's no tray, and unlike my Playstation 3 which sucks in a disk right away, you have to push a disk about 90% of the way inside before the Mac does the rest. At first I was worried I might break it because it seemed like I was forcing the disk in. Strangely, when you eject the disk it comes about 2/3rds of the way out, but it works and that's what matters.

Looking at all the features and feeling intimidated, I noticed that this machine comes with 2GB of RAM, and had no idea if those critical of it meant I should be worried. Not once has this machine stalled in doing anything I ask of it. I can have internet radio going with multiple web pages open and it works. I can run two videos simultaneously and there's no hiccups. The DVD player works fine, though it's impractical for me since I'm using an entertainment center with a dedicated DVD player connected.

If you are just an average person who simply wants a computer so you can check your e-mail, surf the net, copy and edit your photos, store your digital music, and other everyday tasks, you can't do better than this machine. For a grand total of under $850, I have a cutting edge computer with every feature I could ever need, a great mouse and keyboard, and my entertainment center has been transformed into a complete media hub and home office. I still have a lot of features to learn, but overall my only regret is not buying this sooner.

An incredible little super machine!
I researched the heck out of the mac mini. Once everything looked good I gave it the go. I have worked on macs at school, then worked solely on pc's at home. So I was finally able to buy one for school/freelancing (graphic/web design student).

(disclaimer here for pc user skeptics: Even though I think highly of mac's and their os interfaces, I am no mac but slave. This is so you can know that this review is coming from someone who has had experience in knowing the truth about macs and pc's. That they serve different purposes. Pc's are for server/standardized setups/do it yourself junkies (which I am :D), and macs are made to be real work horses for graphic/multimedia work. Everything about the os is made for a high productivity rate.)

Appearance: Just opening my amazon box to getting it all set up (which only took about 5 minutes) is just amazing even in it's presentation. Apple packages the product very nicely. The product is more beautiful than I had thought it was even from pictures all over the internet. It's so very small, and beautiful. I thought the older mac mini's were good looking, but this goes along with the stream lined look of the unibody mac's/macbooks.

Ports/jacks: The back of the machine is gorgeous as well, with the black face. HDMI is pretty cool, I do wish there were more ports on the back, but then again I don't mind at the same time because I got a D-link 4port powered usb hub where I plug most things in. I would actually suggest this to anyone as it not only saves the life of the mini's internal power supply, but also saves wear and tear of the usb ports on the back of the unit. Slot drive is awesome as well, no clunky tray slamming out like on my old 05 pc.

Setup: This mac is perfect for anyone who already has a keyboard/mouse/monitor. I would even recommend this to ANYONE not doing professional video editing for a living. This mac is plenty powerful for anyone's needs, and it is a SIGNIFICANT amount cheaper than any of the other macs, excluding macbooks ect. because if you need mobility, then you need mobility.

Performance: So far I have been nothing but impressed with this machine. My stats are the 2.4ghz processor with 2gb or ram. I have been able to run indesign, photoshop, flash music player, flash video, all in different spaces at the same time. And with all that it hasn't been laggy. Boots up in maybe 20-30 seconds, shuts down and goes to sleep almost instantly. For someone who only uses internet, word processors, photo, home video editing; I would say 2gb is fine. But if you are like me and use a lot of graphic intensive programs like me. You would want to slap in 4 or even 8gb of ram. I plan to put in 8 as I have a hobby of working with AfterEffects, and Premiere.

If anyone is curious, I have Adobe Master Collection installed on my mac mini, Have not noticed one bit of slow down with all those behemoth programs on the system. Also, if anyone is curious, I have not played around with premiere really yet on it, and have only spent about 10 minutes with after effects. To test it out, I opened a large complicated after effects file, and it did pretty well. I would seriously suggest though to anyone wanting to do heavy video editing that you install 8gb of ram. I would even say that you could use this machine as video student, if you have some patience. Think about it, people who were doing video editing professionally maybe 5 years ago were working on portable macbook systems that were not far off from the mac mini. If you really need a speedy machine on a budget, along with upgrading the ram, you could replace the internal 5400rpm drive with a 7200rpm or even solid state drive. Another option is to get an external firewire 7200rpm or solidstate drive for file working/scratch disk drive. Even with all that it would still be cheaper than other macs.

Other thoughts: I also have a pc, and now the mac mini. The mini is so small that I just put it on top of my desk right beside my monitor. Then I bought a trendnet kvm switch (base model). So now I can use one keyboard/mouse/monitor, and push one button to switch. Although ever since I got my mac, I have only used my pc for word, a couple games, not very often.

OSX: Love the user interface, the entire reason I bought a mac. Spaces, expose, and everything else makes osx highly productive. Took me awhile to learn how to install programs on a mac because it was so plain simple. Instead of going through tons of setup windows, you just drag the program icon into the applications folder and it's done. One step. The mini comes with iLife, which I have absolutely no need for. It gives you some basic programs to work with making a web site, photos, video, mail, garage band, calendar, ect. I Just don't use them because I am going into the field of graphic/web/multimedia, so I just use my kick-A Adobe master collection, lol. For anyone who is just a general user in these areas, they actually are pretty good, especially imovie which is so easy to use.

Conclusion:I have been so happy with my purchase. And if you're going to buy the base 2.4ghz model, you might as well buy it from amazon to save yourself the appletax price as well as regular tax and get free shipping as well! Great Deal. I would recommend this computer to anyone who is willing to try out the mac world, who is a graphic/media student, or to anyone making motion pictures, OBVIOUSLY. Great snappy little machine.

Amazon: as far as amazon on this purchase, Amazon exceeded my expectations by delivery. Arrived two weeks early! How's that for great service.

Mac mini 2.4GHz 2GB 320GB
I'm a long time PC user. This Mac mini is my first Mac (I have been using Mac at school for about two years). I decided to purchase a Mac because I found out that Epson printers work MUCH better with Mac. (PC users, if u find hard to get accurate colors from ur Epson printers like 1400, 1900 etc, try them on a mac.) Since I'm gonna use it mainly for printing, and plan to use my existing input and output devices, I think Mac mini would be a good choice.
When I started setting up the system, right-away I ran into a problem: my monitor wouldnt work on the mini. My monitor is a HP w2207h. I connected it to the mini via HDMI. At full resolution (1680x1050), the screen was very very dark, and blinks. Anything on screen was hardly visible. Everything was normal when I used lower resolutions. The monitor works fine with my hp hdx 16 and asus n61vg through both hdmi and vga. I updated the softwares on my mini but still had the problem.
I connected my TV and my GF's Dell 24'' monitor to the mini, and they both work fine.
I took my mini to a local Apple store.
I have to say that apple's customer service is GREAT. the staffs are friendly and helpful. Well, sadly I spent the whole afternoon there but we still couldnt work out the problem. We tried my monitor on a mini they have on display, with identical configures, and the monitor worked perfectly. So they brought out a brand new mini to exchange mine. We tested my monitor on the new mini and still got the exact same problem... WEIRD... We double checked all of our tests and results. the monitor just worked on their demo mini.
I asked them to try the minidisplay-to-vga adapter, and the monitor worked at full resolution no problem.
I went home with the problem unsolved. a couple days later the apple store people sent me an email with two scripts attached. I was told to run both of the scripts with my monitor plugged in and send them the results, so their engineers can work on the problem. I did that and now Im waiting for their answers...
I bought a minidisplay-to-hdmi adapter and tested this set up, still have the exact same problem.
Well, that problem aside, I am very impressed by the power of this little machine. It runs everything smoothly, even PS and Ai. It only slows down when I run a parallel Win 7. I'm an illustration major, and this mini handles most of my 2D tasks just fine. I believe as long as I dont work with like 500 layers this little machine would do.
It does gets a little warm. but thats as far as it goes. It wont get hot as long as the room temperature feels cool.
An usb hub would be a nice addition, since all 4 usb prots are on the back and it gets a bit inconvenient sometimes.
all and all an amazing little machine. I give it a 5 star even i still have the monitor problem, because, to be fair, it works with all the other screens i tested perfectly.

Simply fantastic
I really struggled with paying $640 for a computer, being a disposable PC guy all my life. I love this thing. It might be one of the best things I've purchased in my life. It has made computers fun again. (And I have a CS degree and work in the field). Its really the simple annoyances you have just gotten use to with PCs, that you now notice when you have a MAC are gone. It works right, the first time. I just sold my PC desktop online.

I did upgrade to 8GB RAM the minute I got it. This thing is lightening fast regardless of what your doing.

I love it. I'll never go back.

No USB
Bought two of these and they work fine for what my wife wanted. BUT they do NOT come with "analog-to-USB adapter and travel case" as described in the Technical Details section.

Mine didn't work...
I bought one of these (from a supermarket, not Amazon) to use in making podcasts. I was hoping I could use it to record guest lectures and publish them online for a university student organization I'm involved with. Unfortunately, it did not work at all. I promptly tested on my 2008 model MacBook White when I got home. I plugged it in per included instructions (which were merely "plug device into line-in jack"). I ran two different open source recording programs (which tend to have the best compatibility in my experience) and neither of them were able to detect any sound from the device. There are no drivers or other installation software for this device. I returned it to the store the same day. I didn't test it on any other systems, since for my purposes I needed it to work with my Mac specifically.

works great
I'm very pleased with this microphone; it does everything it needs to do. I use it to talk to people over skype and I haven't had any problems with the sound quality at all. I can place it on my desk and lean back in my chair and it'll still work fine.

Plus, the price is good

Works well
I bought this little microphone with a bit of apprehension,since I needed a microphone for speech recognition. To my surprise it works extremely well! Despite the fact of being a desktop microphone it picks up sounds from ( at least from my experience) about a foot and a half away ( this is based on the fact that I needed for Rosetta Stone). However, it works from farther away for simple video chatting ( tested with the hotmail messenger). Another pro is that is within a relative low budget ( being a college student this is extremely important) and it works very well for the price. The only con that I could find for it, is that it takes space in my desk--so for space convenience it might be better idea to get headset.

What's not to like?
Reasonable price, good sound, works great with skype. Stand puts the mike in a nice position for chatting while sitting at a desk. Picks up voices well and doesn't pick up much background noise.
