- 2007 Mac Mini Core 2 Duo. Running Snow Leopard
I was going to get a Mini, but not sure if it's as good for me as an iMac. We're in our 50's, so gaming is not an issue. We just do basic home computing stuff. Have pics and music to store and view/play.Spreadsheets, Word documents, download & view PDF files. Nothing too exciting. Sales guy @ the Apple store told me that I would have to get a Mac mouse and keyboard. Not sure that I believe him, as I read that most brands (ie logitech) are Mac compatible. He was pretty quick to steer us toward the iMac, which comes with the wireless KB & M.(and costs more). I also have a 2010 LCD monitor that has a HDMI port and "normal" monitor port. The same sales guy told me that my monitor wasn't compatible either without an adapter.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH? My current Windows computer is technologically dated, and I feel that going to a 2.0 core duo 2 or better Mini would be a nice step up. Additionally, we would moving into the stable environment of Mac. However, if an iMac would be a wiser choice, please do advise me so and why or how so.
Thanks
