need some help.. am not sure which one is a better machine for me.
iMac 21.5-inch: 3.06GHz + 8GB ram + 500GB hard drive
or
Mac Mini + 8GB ram + 120GB SSD
my usage :
surfing
VM ware + MS Office (work)
convert video to iphone/ipad format/size
Photo & Video editing (like once a week or 2)
no games. (PS3 FTW~ LOL)
I have NAS and USB drive for backup & storage
My previous machine :
Macbook pro 15" (early 2008 model) + 24 inch Dell LCD display (using the LCD for PS3 Gaming also).
But my MBP logic board is dead and it will cost me S$1700 to repair. so I am looking to buy a new machine instead of repair.
another question, can I use my 24 inch Dell display as a secondary for the iMac?
