Hi Guys! I need your help(s). I've been using pcs' all along and I'm just getting so sick of MS windows. I'm an engineering student , and I want to do a full migration to mac.
Now, my needs are to run :
(1) Enginnering software like matlab, pspice, multisim, mathcad . I need windows for them. I'm aware that mac can run windows on it at the same time using bootcamp.
(2) Programming software like MS Visual C++ , Java2 and etc.
(3) I would like to have a 20" LCD monitor to view all my simulations.
(4) I play moderate games like ragnarok, A3-MMORPG.
(5) I use Office suites to edit and types my reports.
(6) Surf the net and chatting
(7) Watch movies and listening to music.

Is it okay to get a mac mini+20" LCD monitor or will it be better to get an imac or do you have any other better suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

Oh, Thank you so much prasys and xordMeztGeR. oooooooooooooooooH ! a matlab for mac? gr8! Yup, I'll get a mac mini and beef up d RAM and let it let fly . An apple salesman gave me a short preview of windowsXP running on imac with boot camp. I have a few uncertainty here :
(1) Do i have to buy bootcamp or is it free of charge (FOC) ?
(2) Upon installation of winXP o/s, do i need to get drivers for it or can windows recognize the hardware automatically?
Thanks =).

oooh . Ic ic... thanks..
Now I can safely migrate to macs.
Thanks for all the help .

mac mini, here i come !
