I just paid FULL PRICE for 2012 mac mini, latest and greatest. It TOTALLY freezes once per week. I first thought it was due to 2 monitors, and the onboard graphics not supporting both monitors. I switched down to 1 and still happens. I get a total full screen-ful of colored pixels, and a loss of keyboard and mouse. Don't let anyone tell you that Macs don't freeze. I am a life-long PC user trying to switch. This is my 1st real month on a mac and am ready to go back. the fact that someone could say that a mac never freezes is the lie of the century.

Not everything freezes, and toggle thru applications; mostly it's the use of the mouse that freeze and any open windows are frozen. Can relaunch the Finder using the keyboard but that doesn't solve the freeze. Right-clicking on the "F" reveals nothing. using Lion – What about an “F” icon that appears in the status bar on start-up — if you click it, the computer freezes and have to restart by holding down the on-off button for a second.

The option mentioned above does nothing. MacOS never restarts. The supposed "geniuses" at the Mac store couldn't find any problems. What a waste of $2500. At least with a PC I would expect to have these kind of problems. I bought an MBP 17″ and it freezes about once a week. The option mentioned above does nothing. MacOS never restarts.
