I have a Macbook that is over 3 years old, works great, but there maybe some new technology available come this time next year that I may want to take advantage.
I'm planning on a new Mac Purchase, probably around Dec 2011 (Due to funds).
I have a White Macbook 2.2 gzh, with a upgraded 320 gb, 7200 rpm HDD and 4gb of ram. It has the standard Intel GMA graphics.
I use it like a desktop, connected to external mouse, keyboard and monitor. Uses are: textmate for PHP, SQL, CSS and HTML, terminal for linux/unix remote work and some photoshopping. I also use it for general everyday surfing but am starting to use my newly gifted iPad for that.
I mostly use it for web development, college work (papers, research etc...){I live at home and do not like to take it places.}, some Java Development but I do that more on Lab machines then my Mac, general web usage (email, facebook, YouTube).
All you Mac Mini owners, can you please weigh in on what you think of the Mac Mini?
A couple questions:
1) My Macbook fan kicks in really high when streaming youtube/flash videos, any issues with that?
2) How do you like HDMI output?
3) Is it a pretty quite machine?
4) How's the performance?
If you use Photoshop and stuff like that, please rate what you think of the Mac Mini for all that.
Thanks!
