After having been on a PC for the past 15 years, about 2 weeks ago I drove an hour to the nearest app store and purchased my first mac. I purchased the upgraded model of the mac mini and had 2 GB of ram added.
My reason for purchasing the mac was simply so I could develop apps for the iPhone. However, I have since fallen in love with the mac. I know it sounds so "cliche" to say that it just works, but it's so true. Anyways I have really done very little programming with it but have been using it for my video editing.
I have been using iTunes on the PC since it came out for windows and I always would buy movies because I could put purchased movies onto my 5th gen iPod and play them on my tv. I never could get rented movies to play on the tv and this always really really annoyed me. Then enters macmini with front row. You may be thinking I thought this review was about Rowmote. Well it is, you see my tv remote went out about 9 months ago and I have been setting my tv to one channel at night and falling asleep.
Anyways, I am using rowmote to control the mac and frontrow. I am now able to rent movies for $3 or $4 dollars instead of having to shell out $10. Rowmote has worked absolutely great, you have to install a small piece of software on your mac but after that its just as easy to use as the mac.
I give it a 5/5
