Actually i have been comparing...

if u take iMAC and mini..with the price tag, i still think iMAC is more worth it. The reason is that iMAC gives u lots more spec than mini.

Unless you are treating mini as an independent media center, than MINI will be veri handy.,..!!~!~

True, iMac worth more than MacMini... but if u plan to hook up to HDTV, MacMini is more value for money...

macball,
Read TS question carefully. He intends to get it as a gift for his sister - and he's got a budget, hence i think the MacMini's a pretty good pick to start off with. I mean, come on, wouldn't U want someone to give u a MacMini?!!

apisgogo,
Yeah, I'm still waiting... Er.. finance's always a problem but in this case it isn't the *main* problem, I think!

then the main prob is?

No no no, please continue your discussions here. I feel a little more enlightened. I am also considering the possibility of an iMac as well.

Still need to do more research and finding out a price which is reasonable as well.

Mavik,
Oh... In that case there are plentiful threads here which u can refer to . And for someone who's looking to purchase something in Jun/Jul, u sure start ur research prettty early

tinkerbel - unforseen circumstances? mind to share? we can help

Mavik - iMac? ok, since im an iMac user, i must say it is suits me and able to deliver what i need. My use my iMac for video, image editing & light Maya modelling... its has few firewire connection that i can hook up to my DC CAM for video and etc etc... basically its able to cater more than ur sister needs... Mac OS X able to handle more than one program in a time... so, i would say iMac 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 17" with ATI Radeon X1600 with 128MB GDDR3 SDRAM and 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) priced at RM 4,799 would be best choice...(my opinion) plus u dont have to buy saperate monitor for MacMini...

so, you have some options now.... u can go for MacMini + other brand lcd monitor, or if you have extra bucks, iMac... or u concern abt mobility, go for MacBook... if you really have many buck, buy MacPro

is it you? u gonna get your mac in jul/jun?

apisgogo,
It's beyond anyone's help..... So I'll just haf to bear wif it.....

tinkerbel - ok, let me know if u need my help then

Mavik - best if u state your budget then...
