to threadstarter,

mac mini = the most affordable mac ever

go ahead and buy this thing and plug it to a HDTV or apple cinema display... u will sit down and satisfied...

for video editing? Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Quicktime HD etc etc... impressive...

for image editing? Adobe Photoshop, Apature etc etc... again impressive results...

Mac Mini output = DVI output & VGA connector (adaptor included)

so technically can plug to any vga monitor... Can use DVI for maximum resolution and quality.... for HDTV connect can use DVI-to-HDMI cable..

in my office we have a mac mini connected to normal Samsung Syncmaster LCD using VGA connector...pretty neat

Yess!!! your mac mini can become HTMM (Home Theatre Mac Mini ) i plugged my iMac G5 to my Samsung R7 32" HDTV using Apple mini vga cable and the results was impressive... it became my dvd player


mobility? aha, get mac book pro... Dual-Link DVI for maximum resolution and impressive images and the best thing is parallel dekstop... neat that is


Regards,

MacMini RRP - 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo, RM3199 & 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo cost about RM2399
u can get better deal than that i presume...

u mentioned abt your concern abt mobility... i propose that you get a MacBook... RRP - 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook cost around RM4,399.00 (spec quite similar to MacMini) and a bit higher spec for mac book - 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1gb RAM RM5,299.00... both have DVI output (MacBook has Mini-DVI output whereas you need Apple MiniDVI cable sold saperately, can get easily at mac store) of course if you have RM to spend, go for MacBookPro

dont la carry office ones but if u can stand any longer, what the heck
in time u will be 'the proud owner'

Regards,

oh ya... sorry threadstarter... but i hope our 'off thread conversation' will give a clearer picture about MacMini, thus to all apple product line

no worries on Mac... its easier than windows... dont hasitate...


tinkerbel : still waiting? finance matters? or wait for new OS Leapord aka Mac OS X 10.5

PS: not 'proud owner' but 'the chosen one' hehe

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

then the main prob is?

*this thread gonna be way off

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?

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

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