The new mac minis are nice. Very quiet, elegant, almost everything about the specs is decent but there's a huge drawback. graphics. ...Or I should really say no dedicated graphics hardware. Instead it uses integrated graphics and those are kind of crap. Nothing you'd want to use for games let alone video editing and suchh. Just not a graphics machine.

For the money you can build yourself a nice PC that tops Mac mini's specs. easily. At least in terms of graphics.

If you want a Mac with decent graphics then the only choices are MBP, iMac 24 and a mac Pro. None are cheap and unless you absolutely must work with OS X investing in one just doesn't do it justice.

cheers,
