So far, after a few days of use, I'm quite impressed with the mini. I've got the bog-standard model with bog-standard RAM and it performs very nicely. No problems with bog-standard computing (eg running Safari, Pages, Camino and a handful of other apps).
I found that even with the bog-standard configuration I've got, the mini has so far been extremely responsive and perfectly fast enough to get everything I wanted to do, done.
The only resource-hungry thing I've tried with it is Garageband; after adding the fourth loop in a 30-second-long song, the computer started to complain. I was only noodling around, but you get the idea.
I'm thinking of replacing my 12" 867Mhz Powerbook with a Mini. The only seriously intensive use I make of the equipment is some amateur use of Photoshop CS - I'm a keen photographer. From what you've said, it sounds as if this will be a perfectly adequate replacement/minor upgrade.
