Speaking of the Atom I have noticed that just about everyone had put out little mac mini type computers except that they use the Atom. The mac mini on the other hand is pretty much a laptop in a box. It uses a mobile core 2 duo which results in better power usage and way better performance. Why hasn't any manufacture out there created a mac mini clone? I spent last weekend trying to find one to buy, but in the end it looks like I will be buying a mini to put Linux. The closest I came on the PC side was to get a laptop and turn off the screen.... I was honestly expecting it to be easy to find a PC version of the mac mini.
