Hey guys so I am permanently on my laptop here this Toshiba Satellite M30 I am using its LCD but I have got a spare 17" Samsung LCD so should I buy a Dell 2005FPW for my laptop instead of using its inbuilt 15" screen or buy a Mac Mini and use the spare 17" LCD for it? I am really confused ere.

edit: reason why I dont use the 17" with my laptp is because the 15" laptop LCD is widescreen and I love it but I could make use of it with the Mac Mini so I wont be wasting a LCD but then also what would I use a Mac mini for if I have this laptop already? Would I make use of the Mac? :/ So thats why maybe I should get that Dell for this laptop....

Thanks anyway! :)

well the screen would be great but you're using a laptop so there's not much point in getting another screen unless you're gonna watch movies lots and play games. the mac mini would be good to learn mac os x and if you end up not using it you could make it into a media centre pc like what i intend to do to mine. hook it up to the hdtv, get a wireless keyboard and mouse, 200gb hdd and a 5.1 external sound card... hmm maybe not...

You think? I would have thought the Mac would bring more overall joy eg. Mac OSX :woot: But the screen would also bring me alot of joy i guess :/ I really dont know...

Yea I sent it, should receieve it withing 3 to 8 working days :p :shifty: :whistle: :rolleyes:

Do not get a mac mini, they lag SO bad when you open the most simple programs, i was testing them at the mac store, and i almost thought i was on a PC

To be fair most of the Apple's in the Apple store are full of crap and have been played with a lot by Windows users and kids so they think clicking the red X makes the App go away. It doesn't it just sits in the background eating RAM.

i was debating between the two for myself and in the end i ended up choosing the mac mini. my ex girlfriend had one and im on it right now. its only got 256mb ram and sometimes the twirly **** comes up and you have to wait a few secs for something to open but its hardly an eternity nor more than a few seconds. the one im getting has a gig ram and the 1.4ghz processor but you will get more fun out of the mac. then by the time you can afford the lcd again you will have mastered your mini.

but all that said

i still want the dell monitor

and im getttin the mac

ARGH

Saying a 1.42 G4 is slow is weird. Maybe you guys 'played' with the wrong mini's but the macs ive used are all pretty responsive. OS X feeds off ram so 512mb should do it proper.

The 1.42 GHz PowerPC processor is pretty slow by todays standards and OSX is a memory hog, 512 MB isn't even really enough let alone 256.

    • Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.
    • I think there will be a 27H1 for actual users of 26H1 The 25h2 supports ARM too : Snapdragon X, Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite
    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two.
