I understand your problem. Until now, I have only owned one Apple desktop, the Apple II I bought in 1980. I took a dislike to Macs the first time I tried one.

No doubt.  My problem on this is that I hate Apple, Macintosh, and
everything to do with their proprietary, closed-source, walled-garden

with AOO development, but there's a limit to how much I'd be willing to
spend.

Looking at it the other way round, for under $500 I could have a Mac Mini
with 500 GB hard disk and Mac OS Yosemite delivered on Sunday. That is

than 10 months of macincloud.




Is such a machine sufficiently powerful for building AOO, and doing so in
a
reasonable period of time?


I don't know, but it is more powerful than the macinbcloud offering. If I
were buying myself a Mac, I would go for a more expensive system with more
cores, bigger memory, and a terabyte-scale disk.
