Assuming that you're talking about the 13" 2010 MBP, they're both essentially the same system inside. Same CPU, same GPU, same everything.
Differences? Well, one's a desktop and one's a laptop. The mini has double the USB ports (4) as well as an HDMI port. Other than the obvious things that come with a laptop vs. a desktop, they're pretty much the same. Like I said, computationally, they're identical.

Do you need portability? Do you watch movies? Do you have external monitor?
What you need it for is the question you should ask yourself.
I got my mini hooked up to a 21" screen and love it. Don't need portability and I hate glossy screens.
i have the apple 27 ciema display and have a macbook pro 15 inch at home. But you could still say the mac mini is portable because its small and i can (with the right cables) connect it to any monitor and hdmi tv
I really don't understand these lines of questions. How would other people know if a desktop or a laptop is better for you? and you're really asking what the differences are between the two? really?
