Hey there! I'm new here and this is actualy my first thread. I just ordered the new Mac Mini (2.6GHz i7, 4GB ram and Fusion Drive) and this is my first mac. I was waiting for the iMac refresh, but I didn't like the specs (and the price, I'm frem Brazil and here the entry level 21'5 costs more than 3000 dollars whithout any BTO!!!), so the mini is my choice.
I'm going to upgrade the ram, so I would love to hear something from you! Here in Brazil is very hard to find 8GB modules, because they are very expensive. As my options are few, I'm hoping you could give me your personal opinion and helping me decide. These are the RAMs that I can get here:
The Kingston for mac
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-1600...257082&sr=1-4&keywords=Kingston+8GB+DDR3+1600
The corsair for mac
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Certi...&sr=1-1&keywords=corsair+8GB+DDR3+1600MHz+mac
and the Corsair Vengeange
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Venge...255446&sr=8-4&keywords=Kingston+8GB+DDR3+1600
Are all of those stable and reliable? Wich of them would you buy, if you only had those options? Had any experince with one of them? They have almost the same price in here, so it's realy a matter of choice. Your help is very appreciated!
Now the display! There are even less options for display! I can't afford the ATD, since it costs more than 1700 dollars here. Right now, I'm intending to buy the Dell UltraSharp U2412M, which is around 500 dollars. Is this a good monitor? I won't be doing any professional work with image and video, I'm a law student and if the small letters are sharp, that's good enough. Any other recomendation?
All right, guys, thank you very much for your help! Sorry if I wrote anything wrong, and thanks for your help!
