I have toyed with the idea of getting a mac for a while now after being a lifelong windows user and after seeing the mac mini has got me even more interested because it is a small neat PC that doesn't look like a PC and is good value. I know both types of machine can handle everything I do on a PC but I'm thinking the mac can do it better. I have a few questions though.
1. I plan to use it with my ipod and for surfing, digital photos and but soon I want to use it for video editing when I buy a camera. Can the mini handle editing well? Can I hook the mini upto a DVD recorder to burn using that or can you tell me what format the superdrive burns in?
2. I currently have a windows laptop, is there any way to sync both for files (word,excel), itunes and outlook contacts?
3. Is iDVD sufficient for video editing from a camera or should I look at additional software?
4. Is iwork fully compatible with word, excel etc and does it save in office recognisable formats or should I get office for macs?
