Yes, you need to compare current products.  The Mac Mini has been produced without a drive for a good year and a half. The last minis with built in optical drives were the Core 2 Duo 2/4 GHz.

But for comparison, the Mac Mini's i7 runs at 2.7 GHz, the Baron's at 3.5 and the Mac Mini's Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor with 384 MB of DDR3 SDRAM is worse than the Barron's Integrated nVidia Geforce GT 430 Graphics with 1 Gig of DD3 memory.  A specced out Mac Mini has a US street price of $1928.

It wouldn't be a bad Hackintosh.

To be fair to C=USA, since they are licensing the Amiga name from Amiga Inc, they are legally bound by Amiga Inc's agreements.  Notice it is COMMODORE OS, not Amiga OS.  AROS was too close to the Hyperion/Amiga Inc settlement for comfort.

It's FreeBSD under the bonnet. BSD was and is know for stability and security.

OSX is a fancy UI sitting on a Darwin UNIX distribution. I wonder what you'd make of OSX if it was based on the an Ubuntu or Debian core (and thus has better driver support, more software and is entirely, as opposed to part, open source)?
