[QUOTE="BSD Meister, post: 1420304, member: 257388"] I think it boils down to cost and cost only. The iMac is clearly ahead of the mini as far as performance goes, but do you need that performance for the money? The benefits of a mini are that you can pick your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse/trackpad and then re-use it later with a different system. It makes upgrading the system easier, but I think the mini's will always lag the iMacs. iMacs are all using quad core vs. the dual core. You might want to go to the Apple site and search for problems people might be having with either system and if they're a big deal or not. [/QUOTE]
