[QUOTE="nathanrh, post: 1468938, member: 282625"] Alright Apple, you got me. I've decided to throw in the towel on owning a PC and switch over, for good. I'm currently rocking a cheap Dell laptop with Win7, but could really use a power upgrade. I'm looking specifically at the new baseline Mac Mini model. I would most likely upgrade the RAM myself to either 8 or 16 to save a little cash, and I've already got all the necessary peripherals. That being said, I was hoping you guys could elaborate a little on the Mini's capabilities... I definitely will not be doing any gaming, and I wouldn't even classify myself as a power user. The heaviest programs I would ever be running are Abelton/Logic and Photoshop- how smoothly will the Mini handle that? (not together, obviously). Will it be a night and day difference switching from my Dell's Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T6400 to the Mini's 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5? I really appreciate any input, thanks team. How do you like your Mini? [/QUOTE]
