After using PC's/MS Windows all my life, I find myself wanting a change. So I was thinking of getting a Mac. I already have a 22" Monitor so I'm looking to get a desktop, I would also consider a laptop.

I only use my PC for internet browsing, email, chatting, listening to music, basic pic/vid editing and the occasional movie now and then. However with the upgrade, I intend to play some games too.

An important factor is it's aesthetics. It will be in the living room so it's gotta look good! :D

The new Mac mini has caught my eye:


2.53GHz : 320GB
  • 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • 4GB memory
  • 320GB hard drive
  • 8x double-layer SuperDrive
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
  • Mac OS X Snow Leopard


  • Estimated Ship: 3 business days
  • Free Shipping
  • P44,990


What PC alternatives are there? (within a similar price range of P44,990)

What are the advantages/disadvantages of porting over to a Mac?
