I am new to mac, and I guess that a Mac mini is like the gateway mac. I am looking for my own computer that I don't have to share anymore, but powerful enough to do some of the things I want to do for at least a couple of years (2-3) before I upgrade to another mac within that time. I don't need something that is crazy powerful, but powerful enough to run iMovie for video editing, maybe even Final Cut Pro. Some other software too like App inventor, because I am getting interested in App design. I am for the most part an average user, because I do spend a lot of time on the web.
I am on a budget, and I am not sure exactly if a Mac mini will be good for me, because of the total amount of money you actually have to pay. This is the Mac I am talking about. Configure - Apple Store (U.S.)
Mac Mini - $600.00 2GB Ram (Extra) ?? Apple Charges too much, have to get it somewhere else But wanting At least 4GB RAM
Magic Mouse $70.00 Wireless Keyboard $70.00.
Total $737.00
All this, plus a monitor, say $200.00 comes out to just about the same as a imac. So, would you say it is worth it?
