Asus Eee Box vs Mac Mini

I know there are massive differences here, price, software etc.. I want to heave out my gaming rig (don't ask!) and get something small and compact. Aiming for tinternet browsing, typing and lightroom(?)

What ya think? I can afford either (I think).

I'm not sure how the Asus' Atom CPU would cope with Lightroom.

Anyone know??

Mac Mini all the way

Well, if the Asus is capable of comfortably running Lightroom, it would be a waste of money (£100) to buy the Mac Mini.

Obviously, if the ASUS isn't capable then the Mac Mini would be the ideal choice.

id wait till the dualie version of the asus comes out, single core atom is a bit weak imo.
