[QUOTE="HungarianStan, post: 1649529, member: 345301"] Depends, really, on what you want to do. Mind, for a normal user, what you ordered is perfectly fine. Also, sounds like the rep was trying to up-sell you, which I, personally, hate. I mean, you weren't getting Retina on purpose to save some costs; annoying. For me at least (I do normal internet and email and so on, the occasional game) the 4GB Mac Mini I have is more than enough. If you're not a power user, than the rig you talked about is wonderful and perfect. I will say a lot of mac users on other forums yell and scream about anything less that 16GB and Retina and all that. Again, admitting I do virtually no video editing or music whatever or photograph anything, I find my current machine more than fits me. Yes, in three or four years I may be in a position to buy another computer. But I don't imagine my needs will change. The only thing that'll keep me from buying a similar machine in that time will be if things on the internet refuse to run anymore. And with that in mind, I can't imagine 8GB isn't enough. So don't worry; I think you made a great purchase, and welcome to the Mac World! I'm new myself and I keep kicking myself that I didn't switch sooner. [/QUOTE]
