Compared: Intel Mac mini To $159 Fry’s Linspire PC.

Recent news about security hacks on OS X should have us on guard against grabber headlines, right? We can’t help ourselves. We’re suckers for screaming headlines.

Now PC Magazine is in the act with “Your Next PC Will Cost $159.” That’s an implied assumption, if I’ve ever heard one. How can an iPod nano cost more than a “fully equipped” PC?

Remember that the iPod comes fully equipped. Even at $599, Apple’s hot-selling Mac mini needs a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor (not to mention a little more RAM).

How should I.... (excerpted).
