For $100 more, I'd rather have Mac minis for desktop use. It's worth it.

Those $500 Linux boxes would be great to use as low-cost servers.

Not to me.

Nowhere near the speed, power and storage capabilities, which are things that I very much need, and not much room for expansion, not a lot of versatility.

And virtually zero tinker appeal.
