[QUOTE="mknightretke, post: 1302621, member: 216466"] Hello, MacForums! :) As you can see from my signature, I have an iPad 2, which has replaced a lot of my laptop usage. My school sent me an HP ProBook, and I absolutely despise it, but there are just some things for which I still need a "real" computer, like: [LIST] [*]Downloading, converting and streaming video (with Air Video) [*]Photo editing [*]Some web browsing [*]Light gaming [*]Syncing my iDevices [/LIST] So I'm sending my ProBook back sometime in the next few months, and have been looking for a Mac to replace it. Since I'm a student and on a very tight budget, a Mac mini is the natural choice. I've got some old Windows hardware (monitors and things) lying around, but primarily my plan is to install LogMeIn or Splashtop, keep it in my cabinet, and just remote in with my iPad to do those tasks. Where can I find one - preferably an Intel/Lion compatible model - for around $200? Thanks so much, and if there's a better option, please let me know! [/QUOTE]
