ah that's a good tip youngkies. When do you think i should get it then? Any idea which month the leopard will be release?

Some rumours stated it *might* release next month. As a matter of fact, no one knows when. Apple just stated that it will release in spring season(21 March-21June) Right now, the Leopard beta version still got ton of buggs..

right so basically what i need to do now is sit here and earn more money to buy the 24" imac. Thanks guys for helping me out to decide.

Ooooohhhhh dear lord! Buying a Dell monitor for a Mac? That's blasphemous. The cheapest of the El Cheapest cheapested cheapo brand called Dell mixed with a 1337 brand called Apple? That's like buying a Porsche n then using local Fung Keong retreaded tires man.

Dell aint tat bad.. even Kevin Rose in Diggnation recommend it and he is a mac fans...

with the price and the quality... it is more value than ACD FYI

Quality? Have u seen all those never ending complaints about Dell monitors in forums all over the world? Where's the quality then? About "value for $", that I agree. Dell is all about value for $. However most ppl who buy Apple dont buy coz it's value for $. We buy Apple because it's like looooooooooooooove. A love for the looks, quality, n brand. It's like how come ppl spend a thousand bux on Tod's loafers. The Bata loafers may look just as good at rm100 but who wants a Bata loafer eh? That's what I'm talkin about.

I own a Dell monitor and personally, in terms of build, quality and image quality, no fight against the ACD. Seriously, I think it is worth the money invested.

Shh... Sounds like a fanboy to me Any hardwares sure got complains and problems.. Apple products as well Eg: MB/MBP (1st batch)

you own the 24" monitor?


no, im not aware of the issues with dell monitors. my theory is that sells waaaay more monitors than anyone else, so u probably get more people griping about issues. I have YET come across any major news (engadget, cnet) on dell monitor defects. unless ianho can prove it to us ?

buy imac

Say something more substantial than that, this is considered SPAM. And it's very clear what you're trying to do is to increase your post count.

If you have already own a full rig, i suggest you get a mini to save cost (just plug the mini to your existing monitor). But if you are patient.. get the iMac!

It is quite a dilemma isn't it?

I almost got myself the mac mini, but on second thought, I would wait a little longer for Leopard to release first.

The 24" imac is very tempting too, great display, neat machine, what a superb industrial design.

On the other hand, if you already have some cool hardware like big LCD screen & etc, mac mini would be a wiser choice, don't forget the 24" imac would cost more than double the cost of mac mini.

If not mistaken, I did saw 30" ACD attached to a mac mini in LYP apple store a while back.

Of course 24" imac will be ideal, mac mini is not too shabby either for web designing and stuffs.

i think right now i have my heart set on waiting for the Leopard to release. Then only i can decide. But what you say is right insomnia, a 30" ACD + mac mini is definitely tempting.

Added on March 25, 2007, 10:49 pmi have a question regarding the imac. Let's say i create a psd file in a computer that runs windows. Will there be any compatible problem when i open it in mac? Same goes for macromedia dreamweaver and adobe illustrator.
