    Pathetic copying and totally underpowered for the price. The 2.6GHz Mac mini, dual-core i5, configured with 8GB RAM and a 256GB PCIe flash storage, only costs $845 (and it comes with macOS Sierra). So much for Macs costing more than "cheap" PCs. The Mac mini also takes up a fraction of the space of this tin can (or plastic bottle). I guess the speaker system costs $200.
    Rob53 - you're comparing a fourth gen i5 to a current gen Skylake i5. Better CPU, faster memory, more sound, slightly better expansion (USB-C, ability to add second hard drive), integrated speakers... I used to have a Mac Mini, but I wouldn't buy one today, Apple has let it languish and it's hideously outdated.
