[QUOTE="NoorINTJ, post: 868422, member: 108444"] My first mac after migrating form the pc world thanks to the intel transition, An Intel Core Solo Mac Mini has been serving me since 2006 beautifully, i only upgraded its ram from 512 to 2 gb since i had an external hdd, 22 inch lcd and Sony dvd writer, but ofcourse its showing it age in an HighDef age ;) ... So i am thinking of either getting a new Mac Mini or a Mac Book White Mac Mini specs 600 $ + 70 $ + 80 $ = 750 $ 2.0 ghz , 1 gb ddr 3 ram , 120 gb HDD , nvidia 9400M + new wireless apple mouse an keyboard Mac Bool White specs 1000 $ 2.1 ghz , 2 gb ddr 2 ram , 160 gb HDD , nvidia 9400M My uses are iwork, ilife, movies, music & internet on the mini, i am not a gamer but i plan on getting autocad on my mac so is the nvidia 9400 any good for basic 3d rendering and presentations, i will use 22 inch lcd from my current setup when i get a new mac mini or macbook, so i want to know which is a better package ? Second Question, since i plan on selling my old mini and see how my budget works, i am currently on 600 $ budget, selling my mac mini would certainly help me decide if i should get a new mac mini or mac book white this month, or wait a little bit longer to save more money ? Whats your advice ? my Intel Core Solo Mini specs are 1.5 ghz 667 fsb, 2 gb 667 ddr2 ram ( kingston ram, upgraded by me upon purchase ), 60 gb 5400 HDD, intel gma 950, combo dvd drive and the rest of standard features ... original discs , remote,dvi to vga plug and original packaging included, plus apple white wireless keyboard ( 2006 ), and usb mighty mouse that i am using ( should i put them on sale with the mini as a package ? ) I am in NY, how much should i charge for it ( i never sold a computer before, let alone a MAC !, your forums indicate a healthy resale market for macs :$ ), and where are the best places to sell it ( offline and online ) ? Thanks for reading and i am hoping to to get the best advice for my second mac purchase :D [/QUOTE]
