Expensive though!

The cheapest at a cursory check I could come up with for a system with non-integrated graphics and a 1.8GHz processor was £636. This includes a display whether you want it or not (no way to not have a display) and a keyboard and mouse, but this compares with £499 for a Mac Mini with pukka 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo and GeForce 9400 graphics. Taking into account the fact that the Dell has more memory and a larger hard drive, I think it's about a wash. Makes the Mac Mini look quite reasonably priced.

No monitor option is available

If you "personalise" the basic configuration, you don't need to select a monitor. For a 1.8GHz processor and separate graphics card, the price comes to £459.

Apple's Entry Cost

Given that OSX is only available on Apple hardware, the lowest entry level cost is what is important to the W7 versus OSX competition. On that basis we are comparing £299 with £499. Apple badly needs an affordable entry point to persuade people to try OSX.
