I got a Mini after hearing nothing but great things about the Mac and VoiceOver. I can honestly say that I regret the decision. I never understood editing, my system seemed sluggish compared to NVDA with Windows, and web browsing is slow on the Mac when using vo. Also, a lot of what I do on the pc is audio gaming, and not so much as a good, accessible version of Solitaire is available on the Mac, let alone shooting, strategy, or other intensively audio games. I am still willing to admit that a good, long skype session with someone who is an experienced Mac user may help me, but as of right now I almost never boot into Mac, using the Windows half of my dual-booting mini almost exclusively. If you do switch, make sure to either set up bootcamp or a virtual machine so you can run Windows, because I can pretty much promise that you will still be using Windows for a while after you start playing with the mac. Sorry to be so negative, but that's my experience so far.
