I have been considering getting myself a Mac mini as my introduction to the Mac world. I've used macs at school, and have rather enjoyed them over their PC counterpart, so I do have a small bit of experience with them. My main reason for thinking of the mini is the cost, and it'd be easier to still use my PC than with a full-out one.
My concern: I do the occasional bit of video & audio editing, and I know that it comes with iMovie and Garageband (Or so I've been told), which both seem to be pretty good programs. But, my question is, would the mini (Cheaper model, 1.66 gHz dual-core) be powerful enough to allow me to do this quickly, easily, and smoothly? (ie: No major hang-ups during editing, not having to wait awhile for various effects to be used)
Another concern: Since I already have Premier for Windows, as wlel as a basic editor for Linux (Same PC box), I can use Audacity on either, and I can use the PC for gaming and such, is there any practical reason for me to purchase a mac in addition to keeping my current computer?
