[QUOTE="jamieandhismac, post: 726431, member: 67671"] I would go for the iMac, you can always upgrade the RAM if you really need to. The Mac Mini costs $600 by itself, so add the price of a screen etc...the iMac works out a lot cheaper. And for word processing, internet and iChat; you don't really need a load of RAM. Leopard costs $130, if you feel the need to upgrade, but again for what she is looking to use it for it's not a must have. As for the warranty, she would have to decide whether she is likely to break it...I can't say :), you could buy Apple Care anyway for the iMac anyway. [/QUOTE]
