Does Anyone have any benchmarks for the mini? I was wondering how it compares to the eMac, iBook.

Wow they look pretty good. The Open GL test is a suprise at 122, heck the Powerbook is at 117. I would have like to seen those numbers if the mini had 64mb video and a 5400rpm hard drive.

The numbers are ok when you compare it to the emac not so with the imac. Mine should be here tomorrow. Just got my tracking number!

The Mac mini needs a better video card. 32MB is sorry, I'm not even sure it will handle core image in Tiger. I's wating untill Tiger comes out

AnandTech has a great review of the mini and some insight to performance.

That is a great write up! I am still wondering in 256MB of memory would be ok for the casual user (like my parents).

MacWorld benchmarks basically say the Mini is faster than the eMac. I have the 1.42ghz and they only tested the 1.25. I cannot wait to see the 1.42's benchmarks
