 | If you're in the market for a desktop Mac, and you have a spare monitor, put the 2011 Mac mini on your short list. The new mini is a winner.

So far, I'm impressed overall with Lion and its performance, but there are a few things that nag at me, and that I'm finding ways to fix or get around. I'll be adding Lion tips and tricks, sharing what I like and don't like about Lion. But in the meantime, have you upgraded to Lion yet?
