I have some reservations.
I would like to change my 2007 iMac for one of the latest Mac mini machines, but:
1. Not over-keen on Lion ( I know I will have to move over one day if I want to stay using a Mac)
2. I have some software which may need upgrading (financial outlay).
3. The big one - I need to use some software which will only function in Windows XP, and I believe Lion's drivers for Bootcamp don't support XP with the new hardware, unless someone has managed to overcome this issue?
Also, I am thinking of a Mini from a monitor point of view. I recently had to do a health and safety assessment at work for my work's computer, and one of the interesting facts which came out of this was, that the top of any monitor you use, should be at the same height as your line of sight when looking straight ahead.
I must admit that when I first had the iMac, the height of the monitor did take some getting used to.
All this is just for discussion, to try and get people's opinions of the various points.
Thanks
