Hey guys,
I have a MBP that I use for video editing and hate when my wife gets on it and messes with anything that somehow always ends with her disconnecting an external or something. So, I have been looking at getting her a macbook, but just started thinking last night, why not a mac mini.
We have a 50inch DLP TV in the living room and I could just hook it up to that right? What all do I need to know about mac mini(s). I am finding the G4 models for around $250 on craigslist. Are those good or should I spend more and look for an Intel based.
As long as I buy the keyboard and mouse (and since I will use my TV as a monitor) is there anything i am missing. I guess, I just don't understand why more people aren't doing this... or maybe they are and I have just been in the dark.
Will it run all the Ilife apps? Email? Word processor? Just basic computer stuff, she doesn't need it for much but she does use IPhoto, Itunes, and Imovie quite a bit.
thanks for the help
