[QUOTE="reverendmedia, post: 1234038, member: 201226"] @chas_m - thanks for the precise answer. Thanks all for your input. I hadn't really paid any attention to mac technological advances, and I've had to take a crash catch-up course when the G5 died - all of your replies have been a massive help (and short-cut!). Many thanks! I'm almost decided on the iMac now I suppose. If it is a better futureproofing option as well as an improvement in speed/power, then it sounds like a no-brainer at £200 (approx) more than the Mac Mini. I can see lots of advantages, not least the backlit LED screen. I doubt I'll be able to stretch to the 27", but the 21" for around £800 it seems achievable. A couple of questions - will I be able to upgrade the hard drive at a later date (500gb to 1tb)? Are iMacs generally easily upgradable? (I understand that RAM is easily installed.) The i3s don't seem to feature on the mac shop site, are they being phased out? Cheers, Jimmy [/QUOTE]
