Getting Started

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!

Patience is a virtue

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.

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
