[QUOTE="djmitch, post: 94731"] One of my goals is longevity: if I outgrow the Mini and have to replace it with something costing the same or more in only a year or two, I would have been better off buying the PowerMac in the first place (I'm referring to the single 1.8 GHz PMac, by the way). My other goal is getting the most bang for the buck (yeah, I'm frugal): Powerbooks give you a puny screen (I'm WAY too used to my 19" monitor for my PC), plus you always pay more than for an equivalently-powered desktop. To me, it just doesn't make practical sense to pay that much for what you actually get. It would seem after reading and thinking about these two posts that I'm leaning toward the single 1.8 PowerMac mainly for expandability reasons, but I appreciate your input nonetheless -- it's making me think hard about what I really want for my first Mac! So keep it coming ... [/QUOTE]
