Considering hitting the shops at the weekend? Looking for inspiration? Check out the latest in our series of gadget mini-reviews, courtesy of silicon.com's sister site CNET.co.uk, the home of technology reviews. For the full review and details, click on the link below.

What is it:
Ultra-compact desktop computer

Typical price:
£479

We like:
Competitive Nvidia graphics chip; includes updated Apple iLife '09 suite; energy-efficient; space-saving chassis retains distinct design

We don't like:
Similarly priced PCs offer greater functionality

The judgement:
While we're still impressed that the Apple Mac mini packs so much into a small package, some rival PCs offer more features for less money. If saving space and using Mac OS are important factors for you, the new Mac minis will appeal, but your money will go further with a budget Windows desktop
