[QUOTE="Miffle, post: 411687, member: 28840"] I'll ignore the idea that the mac mini may die tomorrow and the iMac may change - the best option is still the iMac 20inch if its something you are willing to spend Apple doesn't regard the mini user servicable, you'll have to either buy it with upgraded RAM which is very expensive or you'd have to pay them to put the RAM in (I don'tk now how expensive this is but i'd guess it wasn't cheap) You want to do minor video editing, the mac mini uses intergrated graphics and as stated; it isn't going to be up to the job As far as I know apple regards the iMac's RAM user servicable, with a little flap where you can pop in the RAM. I think you are on your own if you mess something up though (If you've ever done it on one of your computers, its just as easy so nothing to worry about) the iMac also represents better value, if you factor in the screen and extra features -you must weigh out if the extra features are actually worth it to you One interesting thing about the mac mini is it can only take one display, the iMac can span onto two displays (With the use of an adapter) making your work space even larger [/QUOTE]
