It’s been a good experience. I find myself missing the Expose feature whenever I’m on my PC now. I bought Leopard but have resisted upgrading until all the kinks are worked out. So for now I’m using Tiger. I ended up ordering a 2GB RAM upgrade. I finally got the memory today and did the upgrade. The process wasn’t too bad. Except the part where I had to pry open the cover of the system using a putty knife. I was convinced that I must have broken something but luckily I didn’t. Maybe a little scratches here and there. But nothing too bad. Everything was documented on the 123macmini.com site where they had people making videos on how to dissect the little machine.

The upgrade was definitely worth it. Now I can run Parallels and other applications without any hiccups. The Parallels Windows instance loads up much faster now that I’ve allocated 1GB of RAM for the Virtual Machine. I must admit, this has been a pleasant experience using my Mac. Adding this much memory has made this machine shine. Things not only “just work”, they work responsively too. Let’s just say my next laptop will definitely be a MacBook Pro of some sort.
