Would love to hear people's views on their likes and dislikes on Apple Mac's


I was considering buying a mac mini as a side pc to connect up to my 42" LCD but then i thought , what actually do you get for your money when you consider what other companys like acer or dell actually produce a simular product with more features?

Is it the look of the machine that people like or maybe the OS ?

I was looking in a apple store today at the imac 20" for £799 and if you consider a windows based pc for the same price you can get a lot higher spec.


Am i missing something ? this isnt an attack on Apple ( I own a apple TV and an Apple Touch )
 
One thing that does annoy me about Apple though is there " Vale of Silence "
over new products.

I mean take the Mac mini , i cant believe they are being so tight lipped about if the mini is gonna get an upgrade or whether they are going to discontinue , any other company usually gives an incline on updates to their products.

Its like a big one finger salute to their customers in my opinion
 
Example : Some guy saves up £400 to buy a mac mini , pops into shop and picks one up , next week apple launch new model with better spec for same price without any warning.

Other company product : Guy sees on the internet that " Company " are releasing an updated product sometime in the next month. Guy makes an informed decision to wait it out and buy the upgraded version.

Guy feels happy that now has the latest product rather than feeling duped


So why cant apple give an incline to a product upgrade rather than dropping a bombshell within a week of product upgrade?
 
Im guessing the one problem with the imac is that there isnt a lot of space inside for cooling a top level graphics card , having said that there are better options on the market now that the 8800 GS which has had its day .

And with the recent update to the penryns i thought they may of added a new Graphics Card
