We don’t typically expect low-end systems to offer much in the way of 3D-gaming power because of the slow integrated graphics chips common to this price range. Both the Dell and the HP systems offer minor graphics upgrade paths, but the Mac Mini gives you no alternative because of its closed case and notebook chipset. Perhaps it’s not a surprise that we don’t find the Mac Mini suited to gaming, but this also illustrates another of its disadvantages.
Because of the closed case, upgrading the Mac Mini with after-market hardware upgrades isn’t a practical option. Those comparable Windows PCs also have limited upgrade paths because of their size and other factors, but they at least give you some room to tinker.
