I have been a long time user of PC's and even have an IT degree in them. I purchased a Mac mini Solo about a month ago to just try out Mac without spending alot. So far my experince has been great and the few times I have had to use Windows I have actually found myself lost and cringing. I have been using an old PC CRT for the past month with the Mini and instead of buying a flat pannel then trying to add parts to the Mini I've decided I kind of want to just upgrade it all. My fears come into play with this, I've always bought PC's or built them and felt I was in control being able to upgrade them easily. About how long is the expectancy on Mac hardware to kind of still be modern?
I am trying to decide between a iMac 17" and a iMac 20" ... Both have different resolutions yet both are Widescreen...other than size of the screens is there any technology advantages to getting the 20" that'll kind of make it alittle more future proof?
I know these questions are probably dumb and a little childish but when you are use to paying a few hundred less on PC's and still being able to do alittle upgrading as the market changes is kind of a secure feeling.
P.S. - I am not saying Macs are over priced ... I know the reason the Macs are more is cause you get alot more out of the software that comes with it, which PC's come with just the basics and make you purchase that addition software to make it equal or more.
