I am a PC user wanting a Mac as a secondary machine. I'm an engineer, so Xcode is my primarily interest. I may also do some garage band (and use my Line 6 Pod Studio with my guitar) and some general purpose stuff. Minor video editing is possible, but will be a rare task. Gaming will stick with my PC. I've been trying to figure out what the right Mac for me is. I like the iMac, but it is a ton of money and a bunch of desktop clutter I don't need, so I am leaning towards either the low end mini + 8GB ram or the mid range mini.
So, between the option of the low end and mid range if I stick ram in it -- I'm guessing I should go with the low end. I'm doubtful the processor will make a significant different and as there is no gaming, I am assuming that the Sandybridge graphics will be suitable. Am I thinking correctly? Is this likely to make me sad? Thanks for any advice.
