What is everyones opinion on the new intel macs? I've been considering buying one for ages but I want to hear other peoples opinions on it.
Constructive criticism please, no /B/ talk.

For the basics the Mac Mini is just fine but still a tad bit overpriced. It's a small out of the way system that's much more suited for a media center then a powerful rig. Intel just dropped their Yonah prices so I expect Apple to do a revision on the Mini that'll consist of dropping down the 1.5 GHz Solo to $499 at least.
The iMac is a much more powerful machine and it has the usual value added effect that more expensive Apple products have. You get the video card and still compact size. You're locked into the onboard monitor though unless you're going to run spanning screens.
I find that OS X is customizable enough for my tastes but not as much as Windows. The Finder crashing is more then likely due icon previewing. At least that's the only thing that crashes my Finder.
