Bought the i7 quad core mac mini last year and upgraded the RAM top 10GB and replaced the somehow faulty an noisy HHD with Samsung 840 Pro SSD (one of the fastest SSDs in the market now.
Somehow it didnt feel that fast from the beginning but a few weeks ago I replaced my 2009 13 inch Macbook pro with Asus Zenbook UX32A i5 Dual core and after upgraded the RAM to 10GB as well and replaced the HHD with the Samsung 840 SSD (not Pro this time but the cheapest one) it feels much faster than my mac mini (in Windows with Bootcamp).
I dont know why but does anyone else noticed that mac mini is not that great as it sounds? I bought it cause I thought it will be like a mini horsepower machine (the best at the market with those specifications and size).
