The Bottom Line The clone that comes closest to the nearly flawless Mac Mini, AOpen's MiniPC Duo MP945-V would be easier to recommend if it hit the same price point as Apple's pocket-size box. The AOpen MiniPC Duo MP945-VXR is a bare-bones Mac Mini clone that outdoes the original by adding support for Intel's new Core 2 Duo CPUs.
