[QUOTE="SpinningCompass, post: 999427"] I can't offer a simple answer because I don't fully understand your needs. I'm a recent Mac convert but I've used a combination of laptops, desktops and PDAs for the past four years to get the job done. It all depends on your needs. If you're a software developer, you might benefit from having multiple platforms in easy reach. If you're a student, a writer, or a mad scientist, you might prefer to have just one computer which you take with you on your adventures and then plug into your docking station at the end of each day. My gut tells me, get the MacBook. You can use a [URL="http://www.bookendzdocks.com/"]BookEndz[/URL] docking station. That way, you'll have two screens to play with. :) Now that I think of it, I did own a Mac Mini in 2005. I really liked it. My then-girlfriend made me sell it. I sort of wish I had kept the Mac Mini and ditched the girlfriend. Where was I? Oh, yeah - buy a MacBook. [/QUOTE]
