Hi everyone, I noticed that my sister is becoming quite hand with a PC and she loves to do photo and video editing. The first thought that came to my mind is that maybe I should invest in a Mac for her. Since she is still quite young, I was looking more towards a Mac Mini. Since I am a total noob when it comes to Macs, I need some advise from the gurus out here in regards as to how good a Mac Mini (the basic one) would be when it comes to editing photos and videos? I saw from the Apple website that it has the iLife software? All help is greatly appreciated. Cheers  |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 8 2007, 06:16 PM) Mavik, hMmm..... Mac mini for lil sister?! Er, Can I be ur little sister too?! Except I want the MBP *grins*  Depending on requirements, and your budget you may consider getting something that's 'upgradeable' or something with a little 'higher specs'. Wanna copy the specs you have in mind for us? I think all Mac machines come standard with their bundled software and iLife makes part of the bundle  Well right now I am trying to budget some things and see if I can get it for her birthday by July this year. Roughly in the region of RM3k though. |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Jan 8 2007, 06:24 PM) Mavik, To begin with on a Mac Mini might be a pretty good idea. Keep fingers crossed though by then you'll be able to get at least a C2D Mac Mini. Er, speaking of which, u'll need a monitor too, ain't it? Oops, I'm really not the best person to be asking about Mac's but if I could get a MB at about RM3.5k, I'd suggest the MacBook instead. So, anymore vacancies for sisters?!  Well I have a monitor already and I checked the price for the C2D Mac Mini and it is around 2k to 3k if I am not wrong.  |

Thanks for the advice tinkerbel. I will plan to save until my sister's birthday and then get it for her then. Hopefully by July, how knows that the price might drop or the specs might get better.

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.
