[QUOTE="MontrealMitch, post: 257149, member: 20862"] Time to de-lurk! I've been using PC's for as long as I've had a computer (over ten years now) and am very seriously ready to make a full jump and get a MacbookPro and 1.83 MacMini. I'd go for an Imac but since I already have an Apple Cinema Display monitor, I'd feel as if I were wasting money and throwing away gear. I also love that display and really don't want to retire it. So, that leave a soon-to-be-mac person in my position stuck with two desktop options: the mini or the amazing (but also amazingly expensive) MacPro, which would be overkill. I love everything I'm reading about the new dual core mini's, save for the issue of there being no graphics choice above the onboard Intel one. I'm not much of a gamer, but photo and video editing will be done quite extensively. Also, I would hate to learn that certain websites don't display to their fullest resolution because of the mini's graphic card limitations. Would that even happen or do I just not know what I'm talking about? I guess my real question is, if I'm browsing graphics-intensive sites and doing photo and video editing, would I be seeing a difference in quality / performance between the mini and another unit with "proper" dedicated graphics?
