MACTABULOUS!!!.......2006-02-21

For all those people who are concerned about space restrictions and want a powerhouse computer that will not need a large footprint, the Mac Mini is the perfect solution. Packing a boatload of power into a computer yay bigger than a coaster, there is no better power/space combination in the entire computing world!

For all the Windows users who don't want to make the switch to the Mac, with the newest Mac OS you will not look back once you get used to the ways that Apple does things the way they are SUPPOSED to be done.

As per usual Apple, the design of the Mac Mini is perfect, and it's so quiet that your own heartbeat will no doubt be louder than this quiet monster.

If you need a solid family computer that will allow you to surf the net, work with spreadsheets, check e-mail, or just do 99% of the things that you would like to be doing (I don't say 100% because it's not a gaming machine), pick up a Mac Mini for your home office, kitchen, ANYWHERE and you will NOT be disappointed!!

***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

A mixed bag.......2006-02-11

I'm a long time Windows user, but liked the elegance of Macs and was keen to try something that "just works" as the sales pitch goes.
We'll the Mac Mini is a mixed bag. It makes a great table ornament, and it's great to marvel at what is a masterpiece of design and innovation.
But I was hoping for more than that.
There are pro's to this machine.
1. It comes with heaps of bundled software. However, you're going to get much the same functionality with Windows and any piece of software bundled with hardware that you might buy (eg. DV cameras etc.)
2. OS X is quite elegant in its design.

But there are major cons. I'm not sure whether this is because the machine is underpowered, or whether Apples are just not as good as the zealots might claim:
1. It crashes! Far, far more than Windows XP. Occasionally it's a turn-the-computer-off situation, but usually it's just an application crashing, often an Apple application. I think XP is more stable than OS X, despite what people might believe.
2. It's slow. Now this might be because of the low-spec computer, but I think an ugly Intel/AMD box costing about the same would be much faster.
3. Peripherals and drivers are not nearly as well set up for Apple as they are for Windows. The scanning part of my HP MFC just cannot be used on OS X, although it works perfectly on my wife's archaic laptop. My Sony-Ericsson K750i phone does not sync iCal with the USB cable, although it immediately works on Windows/Outlook.
4. The expansion options (apart from the fiddly RAM upgrade that I did) and speeding up the HDD, are negligible.
5. OS X is not nearly as customizable as windows. To customize things (and get some things working) you need to go deep into the directory structure and play around with text files.
6. I find OS X less intuitive than Windows XP, perhaps because I've grown up with Windows.

My advice: avoid the Mac Mini. Either don't make the switch, or invest more and buy a better spec'd machine and be prepared for the odd crash and incompatibility issue.

For All WINTEL Folks: its time to free your mind of DLL's! .......2006-01-18

I recall writing a short review just as I was ordering this piece of incredible ART OF A MACHINE! Steve REALLY KNOWS HOW TO TACKLE pc users and make believers OUT OF them! I seriously started to hate my PC Machine and not use it anymore. I am forced to though since my satellite connection is cross wired with my MacMini.

Tomorrow I am planning to take this little puppy to the office and work on it permanently! Too bad my company can't log it on their network (thanks Wintel)

Let me make it simple: if u have that little voice inside of u going (why are all the Mac ads and hoopla always cooler for Apple?) well its for real they are cooler!!

I have been using this little miracle for the past 3 months (I am a former Wintel Geek since 1987!) I find myself very relaxed in not answering or worrying about DLL's and those nasty questions like: Are you sure u want to remove this file which is shared with another....Blaaaa Blaaaa Blaaaa!

Guys if u r considering iBooks or iMacs today...hold on one second and take a deep breath and buy 2 things:

1. Mac Mini with everything including the internal modem and 512Mb ram
2. Get this amazing book called Switching to the Mac (Tiger Edition)
3. Your existing hardware all will work with this MacMini

Give it a few months and u will be a more creative individual and focus on your material rather than the tool! (even my Wife who is a Wintel fanatic is observing all the plusses of a Mac)

After writing this I am actually going to place an order for one of those new Intel CORE DUO iMacs which just got released. Cant wait!

This is a must have Home Appliance!
(notice I don't call it a computer or a PC or all that technical JAZZ!)

It Just Works..........2005-12-26

I have switched from Windows to Mac w/ this Mac Mini, all of my PC accessories (except wireless card) worked w/o any drivers needed. It was paradise! I copied my iTunes music from my PC and it play perfictly. I am using ICS on XP and OS X picked up the connection instantly w/o having to do anything! As Apple says "It Just Works!"

I love staring at it.......2005-11-25

It's small, sleek, and I always glance at it to admire it's beauty every few minutes or so. It looks that good! Mine was originally the 1st "generation" with 256 MB but Apple-upgraded to 512. Thank goodness because I do get the spinning beach balls frequently. If you're gonna open more than 5 programs or 3 with lots websites you've visited, the memory will eat up fast. I recommend getting 1 gig, which I plan to do myself. There's a few stutters when many windows are opened during "Expose" and opening Dashboard. Things I love about Mac OS X are: easy language fonts (for typing in foreign language), Spotlight (to not having to dig through folders), Safari, of course iTunes, and so much more. Things are straightforward. Installations and uninstalls are huge improvements compared to Windows's. And it looks great! I kind of wish for more HD space, wireless internet, and more memory especially. But all in all I love it. O yea, the slot-loading is cool except you need to push the disk in more than you think. It goes well with my iPod (the 2nd main reason why I have this Mac, 1st one because of my friend). So 6 months strong. Hopefully this can last me for 3 1/2 more years until another Mac. I recommend the $599 version since it has more features at an awesome price.

Kogi - don't waste your time.......2004-03-31

My wife bought me this as a birthday present. I opened it up and switched it on to find the screen was not working - it was half white-out. I returned the item and got a replacement which had a different problem. I contacted Kogi technical support, who we actually there to talk to but the problem persisted. I am now shipping back for a full refund. I advise people not to waste there time on this product.

Good monitor, TV alright.......2003-09-07

Overall I'm pretty happy with my monitor. I use with an IBM ThinkPad X31 in a small dorm room, and it gives me a much better picture quality than the IBM's built-in monitor. Screen clarity / quality is fine, compared to the EIZO monitor I used at work. TV quality is not superb, but that's probably due to the fact that I don't have cable in my room.

Kogi 17" LCD.......2003-08-30

Very poor quality product - in the TV mode the unit was not worth watching. I returned it the day I received it. Don't waste your time or money.

not user friendly.......2003-08-28

It's complicated to use this LCD monitor/tv. It's TV tuner to receive channels is very bad and it's instruction to correct the situation is non-existence.

Handsome and sturdy!.......2004-06-23

I love this bag! I like the fact that it is different than the usual black notebook case -- this one is dark khaki-green nylon with brown leather trim and brushed gold-colored metal fixtures. Has an adjustable, removable shoulder strap (with a nice wide padded section) as well as a briefcase-style carry handle. It is large enough for a 17" notebook but it works well for my 15.1" computer, with plenty of extra room for accessories and more. Well padded interior, and velcro strap inside keeps computer snug. I bought mine directly from CircuitCity.com, which saved me about $10 -- CircuitCity.com offers free shipping on this item.

Great Value, Cool Packaging.......2007-09-10

The Rhino-Tek cartridges are half price what Epson costs and basically provide the same low quality print output you would expect from a 5 year old printer. This is much like not buying the most expensive battery at the auto parts store for your used 88' vw fox. I've used these cartriges (both color and black) several times and was fairly pleased with the results.

excellent substitute.......2005-08-26

This cartridge is a fantastic substitute for the Epson brand cartridges, it performes as well as the Epson cartridges, and gives me a higher page count.

not worth the cheaper price.......2004-10-31

The cartridge worked fine the first time I printed with it. Every time after that the jets were clogged and needed multiple cleaning program runs to get a decent print. The blue was especially troublesome.

this product does the same job as the epson, and at an extreme discount, and without any problems, I am sticking with RHinotek.

Warning!! Will wear out your print head!!.......2005-06-30

I was using the Rhinotek cartridges for about two months and my Epson 2200 started to clog more frequently than before. Pretty soon I couldn't get certain colors to print. I had to eventually send it in for repairs. The repair people said the pump and print heads wore out and needed to be replaced. My printer is only a year old. I will never buy third party inks again.

Buyer beware.

Not happy with the product.......2003-04-25

I bought two of these ink cartridges for my Epson Stylus 660 printer. Last week I replaced my empty Epson cartridge with a Rhinotek. I was very disappointed in the quality of the ink. It is very inconsistent. Sometimes it prints fine, while other pages are terrible. I will spend the extra and stick with Epson cartridges in the future.

This cartridge does the job just as well as the name brand product while it saves money over the ever expensive Epson replacement. I've had no problems with Rhinotek and hope they keep up the fine product line!

Inferior product, clogs the printhead.......2001-12-21

I bought two tanks of this black ink from different sources (one from Amazon, one from a local store). They do last longer than Epson's own cartridges, but beware: they clog the printhead frequently! I wasted lots of pricy color ink as well as black ink having to run the printhead cleaning operation every other day. As an occasional user, printing a few pages each day or two, I felt like I was burning more ink than I was printing. Also, the Rhinotek inks produce an ammonia-like smell on freshly printed pages. I've switched back to Epson black ink. The print is just as rich, clogs happen way less frequently now, and my pages don't smell foul. I will never use Rhinotek inks again.
