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.

    • Yeah, kind of odd. I would understand it more if it was an exclusive, but to launch on both consoles and not PC seems like an odd choice.
    • I predict Rockstar is gonna shock everyone and release one version and one version only at $70!
    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
