I was at an apple reseller store today, there were a number of people coming in with Macs, that needed repairs or had something wrong with it. One girl came in with the large original box, told me it had conked out with about 5 years on it. So the argument that they last forever doesn't appear to be the case oftentimes. Thanks, still looking.
Oftentimes? Based on one visit to a an Apple reseller?
Nothing lasts forever. But a mac will remain adware, spyware, and virus free without doing a thing. And the crapware loaded onto just about any PC? Not there on a mac. No "free" games that take you to a page to enter a credit card number. No "trialware" of Norton or MS Office that expire and are nearly impossible to fully eradicate if you don't want them. No "HP Health Check" nonsense that is out of date within a month of bringing home the PC.
I use a PC for work because I have to. I choose to use a mac for everything else.
As for a mac mini... that is the name of the product. It is a small mac for which you supply your own keyboard, monitor, and mouse. If you have already have those devices it is an excellent way to get started with a mac. It also makes a great media server.
