[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1468948, member: 110816"] Welcome to Mac-Forums If you already have all the peripherals, the Mac Mini is a great option to go with. The newest versions of the Mac Mini rival the power of the iMacs from just a generation ago. The i5-based machines are powerful enough to run the applications you mentioned simultaneously as long as you upgrade the base memory from 4GB to either 8 or 16. Also, do the upgrade yourself, it's easy and will definitely save you money over what Apple charges for them.. Compared to a Core2Duo machine running Windows, the Mac Mini with the i5 and OS X will be significantly faster.. I made the transitions to the Mac with a Mac Mini and had a 2006 1.8 GHz machine that was quite good, but being a power user, it was lacking in power and thus has been replaced with my i7 iMac..
