[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1468971, member: 110816"] The $599 i5 version is capable of doing what you want, and the $799 i7 version would only be to future-proof yourself should you suddenly need to run an application that would benefit from running on a quad-core CPU with extra memory.. Since the CPU is not an up-gradable portion of the Mac Mini, you really are stuck with what you get for the life of the Mac Mini. So my advice usually is to buy the MOST you can afford even if it isn't something you'll use immediately.. You can never anticipate the needs of future versions of OS X or Photoshop or Logic or any other application.. [/QUOTE]
