[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1518471, member: 56379"] To be honest...yes! Why you may ask? Well I'm not saying it to be mean or anything...but I look at it this way. Why spend £1798.00 on two Thunderbolt monitors...and then spend only £499.00 to £679.00 on the computer (Mac-Mini). Don't get me wrong...both the Mac-Mini and the Thunderbolt displays are great products. The Mac-Mini is kind of an entry level computer...it doesn't even have dedicated graphics hardware. The Thunderbolt display is probably the best consumer level monitor you can buy...period. So you're thinking of pairing a Mac-Mini (Apple's lowest end computer)...with 2 of the highest quality monitors you can buy. My recommendations would be: 1. Buy the Mac-Mini...but instead of pairing it with two very expensive Thunderbolt displays...just get two 24"-27" non-Apple display's. 2. Buy a 27" iMac and pair it with one Thunderbolt display. If money is not an issue (which I'm assuming it isn't if you were thinking of buying TWO Thunderbolt display's);)...I would go with option #2. You get a much more powerful & capable computer...and you still get a dual 27" display setup (both being very high quality displays)! :) As Raz0rEdge recommended...it may be a good idea to wait until the WWDC...just in case some new products are announced. Good Luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
