[QUOTE="TomN21046, post: 1616445, member: 336634"] I am considering a 2014 3.0ghz i5 mini vs a used 2012 i7 Quad Mini. I am used to the speed of a GT 740 on my PC. If I convert to mac will the Mini be an outright disappointment in terms of graphics speed? Is the real world graphics speed difference significant between the 2012 and 2014 Mini? If not then a 2012 i7 mini might feel faster due to the extra cores.. Has anyone compared a 2012 and 2014 mini yet in real life? PS: I want to use a matte display so I don't want to buy an Imac. The $3000 Pro desktop is too expensive. And this will be a home computer so I don't want to go the macbook route either. I just want to explore the Mac Mini option. [/QUOTE]
