While the Mac mini is nice due to its size, personally, if you're choosing a hardware over emulation, I'd rather have an iMac G4 simply because of the aesthetics. It's amazing how well that design holds up even today.
- tonyedgecombe 2y agoThe arm holding the monitor was the weak point on those machines. They all seemed to droop after a while. Fixing the problem was near impossible.
- freediver 2y agoCounter point - mine still holding strong after 20 years.
- amatecha 2y agoSame, I have two of them and the arms are holding up fine. I keep them in the fully-vertical position most of the time, to reduce strain on the arm (though I'm not sure how it works internally).

- Terretta 2y agoMore anecdata -- mine's still great, bought when first released, in use till recently. // But now turned off and reboxed along with an Apple //c, SE/30, the cube, the first Intel cheese grater, etc. Someday...
- freediver 2y agoSitting on my desk constantly reminding me what timeless compute (it can still receive software updates for OSX Tiger it runs) and timeless design (need I say more) is.
- vimy 2y agoIt's the most beautiful Mac ever made. I hope they reuse this design one day.
