[QUOTE="techster82, post: 190055, member: 14842"] My first Mac was a Mini I bought off the forums a few months ago. It was a well loaded little guy, and while giving me the introduction to OS X that I was looking for, I just didn't use it when it was sitting next to my PC. I ended up selling it after a month and bought a very nice used iBook. My reasoning is that I am more apt to sit in the living room while I am watching ESPN and use my laptop. If my laptop happens to be a Mac, then it will allow me to explore OS X like I had planned. This setup has worked well. I have my PC upstairs and take my Laptop with me whenever I head to school or on a trip. I love having access to both platforms and their are no drawbacks. I would suggest skipping over the mini idea, although it is a good one. Look at the refurbished powerbooks, or ibooks and maybe wait on the macbook idea. I am ready to go to a macbook now but don't really need to, and know I will kick myself as soon as I buy one and they come out with other options. I will wait till this summer and see the entire product line Apple will now offer before upgrading. Seems like you may be in the same boat so that is my $0.02. Good luck with your decision, you really can't go wrong as long as you keep both. [/QUOTE]
