Apple Mac Mini Core Duo (1.67GHz) Desktop Computer

The Apple Mac Mini Core Duo (1.67GHz) is a complete package to manage all your home videos, pictures, music, and DVD movies. You can use this desktop computer as a semi-mobile computer for home and work, and use it as a media center at home due to it's size.

CNET.com reviewed the Apple Mac Mini Core Duo (1.67GHz) desktop computer and wrote - "Inexpensive; good choice for budget shoppers or people adding a second computer; Front Row media software and new ports make it more useful as a home-theater PC; easy to connect with an entertainment system; can run Windows via Boot Camp; attractive software bundle. Apple packs more media-specific features into the Mac Mini to make an inexpensive and useful entertainment-room computer."

Although the machine has the familiar mini form factor, new additions include an IR port for the Apple Remote, two more USB 2.0 ports (for a total of four), SPDIF, Gigabit Ethernet, standard Bluetooth and WiFi. The new mini also comes with an updated version of Front Row with Apple's Bonjour networking technology, which allows sharing and streaming of media, including audio, video and photos, among all Macs on a local network.

eMachines T6536 Desktop Computer

PCWorld.com reviewed the eMachines T6536 desktop computer and wrote - "The eMachines T6536 may not be a speed demon, but it is a surprise: With modest specs that include a 2.4-GHz Athlon 64 3800+ processor and 1GB of RAM, the T6536 still managed a score of 96 on our WorldBench 5 test suite, putting it squarely at the midpoint among current value desktops--and 16 percent higher then the similarly priced Cisnet NASCAR PC. That's not too shabby for a system that costs just $539 (as of July 14, 2006)."

CNET.com also reviewed the eMachines T6536 and wrote - "We first thought the $539 (after $50 mail-in rebate) eMachines T6536, the top of the budget vendor's Q3 2006 lineup, would easily score an 8.0 rating. Its predecessor, the T6532, earned a 7.6, and this new model has a faster processor and a larger hard drive, and it costs $10 less. But then we saw what the competition had to offer. For just $60 more, the $599 Cyberpower Back to School Super Value PC gives you vastly better performance and more upgradability, and it better prepares you for Windows Vista. The T6536 is smaller and more dorm-room friendly than the Cyberpower system, but if size is a concern, you might as well go with Apple's Mac Mini, which gives you even more space savings and features at a similar price."
