  Value is the key as Apple adds features, lowers prices on iBook G4s and Mac minis
  By Jennifer Berger
  
  Review summary: No update to Mac product lines escapes our attention-especially when it's the first revision of the Mac mini, with previously optional features for a low price. Bigger news is the iBook G4 line getting the PowerBook treatment with some high-end features.
  
  Pros: Very good value; adequate memory; small and light; good video-out options; excellent design; fast enough for basic tasks; large hard drive; AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 1.0 now standard; SuperDrive DVD burner.
  
  Cons: No audio-in port; modem not included (optional).
  
  Verdict: The iBook G4 line has been streamlined to two models: a $999 computer with a 12-inch display, a 1.33GHz processor, a 40GB hard drive, a CD-burning Combo drive; and a $1,299 model with a 14-inch display, a 1.42GHz processor, a 60GB hard drive, and a DVD-bu

  Review summary: Mini: adj. small in size and value.
  
  Pros: >Very small and quiet, Easy to set up, iLife software pack included ,
  
  Cons: No monitor, keyboard or mouse as standard Relatively expensive Lowly specification
  
  Verdict: A great-looking computer from Apple that's incredibly small and quiet. If you don't already own a monitor and keyboard, it's not quite the steal it first looks, however.

  Apple Mac Mini 1.42 GHz
  
  Review summary: As a home computer for the keen digital photographer, the Mac Mini ishard to fault, and it certainly falls into the 'accessory' category at this price (less than a top-flight compact camera)
  
  Pros: Great for editing
  
  Cons: A bit underpowered
  
  Verdict: While you can get a PC with screen and keyboard for this money, it's unlikely to have the build quality and sheer style of the Mac Mini.
