[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1822228, member: 56379"] In the last 12 months or so...Apple has really upped the performance of the computer lineup: - Mac-Mini's with up to 6 CPU cores. - iMac's with up to 8 CPU cores. - MacBook Pro's with up to 8 CPU cores. Yes I agree...$1600-$2000 is a lot for a Mac-Mini (especially without a dedicated GPU). I'm usually not a tremendous fan of 21" iMac's (since for just a bit more can usually get a 27"). But I think the "sweet-spot" right now would be a 6-core 21" iMac. It has similar CPU performance to the 6-core Mac-Mini...but also has a dedicated GPU...for basically about the same price. And of course it has a built in display.:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
