So I have been thinking about getting myself a Mac for a while now, my current PC is almost dead now and given the release of Lion plus new Macs today I am very seriously thinking about picking one up at the end of the month.
I would really like to get hold of a Mac Mini, however given that there are now three models with various pros and cons I am stuck as to which to get. I really want the AMD Radeon HD 6630M but I would also like the quad core and having two hard drives so I know I am not wasting space inside machine that can be fairly difficult to upgrade.
I know most of this will probably depend on what I want to do with the mini and I think my personal uses (beyond the basics) usually include some web development, creating graphics, a bit of gaming (specifically starcraft 2) and I might have a go at writing some apps (for mac/ios). I would also really like to try the server version of lion so which ever one I decided to go with I will probably upgrade it anyway.
If any one can offer any advice or let me know of anything I may have overlooked I would greatly appreciate. I have never touched a Mac in my life but I have seen it used a few times and am quite excited to give it a go (now if only I could choose which one I want).
Cheers
