[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1545168, member: 284358"] Being that they have seemed to drop the pricing on the 21inch iMac and it does include the keyboard and mouse (which are not cheap).. Price wise. Yea the iMac is looking like the better choice. But.... Take into account, that the 21" iMac doesn't allow one to upgrade the RAM later. It however does have 8GB standard which is plus. But 16GB is 200 USD more and 256GB Flash storage is another 200 USD. Both of which can not be upgraded later. This is the only edge the Mac Mini has over the iMac. That and if one deciders 21" screen is just to small. Then they are just stuck with it. To many choices LOL... To be honest, if he likes the 21", likes the 1TB slow as death HDD. The iMac is a solid choice here and maybe the best.. 8GB is plenty of RAM for the average user. I would go for the 256 Flash Storage though, they are quick. Just plug a USB3 or a NAS storage up for the extra media space later on.. [/QUOTE]
