Overall I found it frustrating and avoid remote access, but it does work, although I would strongly recommend buying Apple Remote Desktop to get the full screen capability. I found that I needed to degrade the display quality in order to keep the performance reasonable, which meant a blurry display. ![]() I had a Mac Pro tower at work and really needed the remote capability, and was able to work reasonably well with Apple Remote Desktop, but when my tower came off lease I went with a Laptop, because the lag and poor display quality were just too annoying. I have personally tried to use VNC both with Apples built in and premium Apple Remote Desktop ($79.99), as well as Jolly's Fast VNC.

I always bring my laptop along and have looked into using VNC to access the mini remotely. I'm always at different locations, be it at home, with clients, or simply sitting outside at a coffee house. My problem is I never work strictly in one place (i.e. I'm looking to get a Mac for iOS development, and with about $700 to work with, a Mac mini with upgraded RAM seems like the way to go. ![]()
