    Alienware X51 looks pretty good, and similarly priced to the MacMini. If only they'd do a BluRay on the entry level model ....

    Inspiron 660 looks nice & compact, but again no BluRay option (at all).

    The form factor of the MacMini takes some beating.

    Net Top specs, really compete with AppleTV rather than any serious computer - they can just about cope with video streaming playback.

    It's a bit daft comparing something that costs £500 with something that costs £200.

    A better comparison would be with a small form factor desktop rather than a Nettop

    The MacMini entry level model has a Dual Core 2.5Ghz i5 chip vs Acer's i3 1.5Ghz single core - not a good comparison.

    Really surprised Dell abandoned the Zino.

    PC manufacturers don't really seem to make Mac Mini rivals anymore.

    I know - it's really odd.

    I suppose everyone is waiting to Intel to define a form factor (like they have for the Ultrabook)

    Ultra ITX gives people the Mobo & backplane, and you can get really powerful bareboards.

    think Dell chose to focus on the Alienware X51 ??
