[QUOTE="jjq224, post: 1233574, member: 198173"] Well, the first question is this - are you looking for a desktop or a laptop? I work in a tech support call center that has roll-around carts with equipment on them for the techs to have hands on access to. There are 20 carts - each with a regular PC and a Mac-mini - along with the regular hardware necessary (scanners, printers, MultiFunctions, etc). There are 200 people using these carts from 10am to 10pm five days a week and they are constantly plugged in (they also are plugged into a UPS). They have been this way for over a year and not one Mac-mini has needed to be replaced. I doubt you are going to beat on one as much as we do. The Mac-mini is a great little machine. As for laptops, the 13" Macbook pro has received AWESOME write-ups in both Macworld and MacLife. I just bought one two weeks ago and LOVE it (three weeks after I bought my first Apple computer - the iMac). As I bought the iMac in March and have never been happier. Like you, money was the issue, so I stuck with the base, low-end model. Luckily, I have over 10 terabytes in external storage so that wasn't an issue. Oh, BTW, the call center I work for is Canon - we have no issues running .cr2 files on any of the Mac-minis. ;D [/QUOTE]
