The Mac Mini is cheap.

At various times the iPod was about as 'cheaper than the competition' as the iPad is now.

The iPod touch has been cheap relative to comparable products. The Nintendo 3D hand held is launching at $350 here.

The Mac Mini is cheap compared to other Macs. Not compared to comprable computers, IIRC, so long as we are considering performance an important metric.

I don't know if the 3D handheld is a good comparison. It's expensive because it has 3D for goodness sake.

The Mac Mini is a great deal compared to everything that's not at least 3 times larger, especially if you consider performance, because everything else the size of the Mac Mini has an Intel Atom at best.
