I agree with you about a few things. But it really doesn't matter to me if my Mac Mini gets hot, Because almost every computer besides Desktops get hot. Every laptop gets hot. So yeah, It's better than a Laptop because i don't feel the hotness on my hands.

how do you like your 2010 mac mini? I love how they look and the specs are pretty good so I was thinking of getting one for my father.
 
I bought my Mini a week ago and it's my first Mac Computer , And so far i'm very happy it. The best part was the opening of the keyboard , mouse and the computer itself boxes, I still have the new smell, Love it :).
I upgraded my RAM To 4GB And it seems like it's not enough, I didn't know MacOSX Is such an heavy Operating System, As soon as 8GB Will become more cheap in here i sure will upgrade again. If you buy one for your dad, Upgrade to 4GB Else it'll be seem to him very slow. Even though, I REALLY Love it. Worth his price.
