Unless the Mini has a hibernate mode then it's missing one of the key fundamental reasons to use a laptop instead. Namely, you close the lid then open it again to resume work. A machine that boots from scratch doesn't generally provide that.

Not surprisingly for an OS running on laptops, OS X supports hibernate. It's not the default on desktop macs, but you can turn it on.

Just because it exists as an option does not mean that it works reliably.
Have you personally used hibernate mode more than a few times?
(I ask because if you have, then I'm willing to try it on my mini.)
