We are ready to replace our aging pcs and I am contemplating going with Mac Minis. We would use our pre-existing monitors, keyboards and mice, which are all working fine. I have macs, but haven't used a mini. I just have some basic, bonehead questions I was hoping you all could help me with:
1. Can one use standard headphones with the jack, which is described as: "Combined optical digital audio output/headphone out (minijack)"
2. How hard is it to lock these down with a security cable so they don't walk off?
3. I'm guessing that the stock 1gb ram is going to result in sluggish performance. Why is Apple charging $160 for a 2gb upgrade? Because they can?
4. Any suggestions for LCD monitors, and will I have to buy extra cables?
5. How hard is it to image machines that have a dual partition using bootcamp?
6. Am I going to see substantially faster machines in January at the same price?
Ok, thanks, and I hope this isn't question overload.
