Tangent's Rugged PC Eats Mac Minis for Lunch October 19, 2006

Looking like a cross between a tank and a mini PC, Tangent's Rugged Mini is the first rugged desktop we've laid eyes on. Spec-wise, it's not as powerful as your average desktop (it runs off an Intel Pentium M or Celeron M), but otherwise its got all the goods you'd find in its bigger counterparts and one ups them by being VESA compliant. It's also got a fanless chassis so it'll be quieter than most desktops. It'll set you back around $1,400 bucks, which we think could be better spent on an entry to mid-level notebook. Unless you wanna scare the pants off your Mac Mini.

Who in their right mind would buy one of these? It's a total rip off compared to the mini! It hasn't even got a Core Solo nevermind the Duos that the Mini has. Plus it can't run Mac OS X and is butt ugly! Thats without even factoring in the price. You can get 2 Minis plus have a fair amount of cash left!
No thanks.
Oh yeah I forgot, scare the pants off the Mac Mini? pffff... the Mini will pwn it so hard that that thing won't know what hit it
