What should I buy?

[SojIrOu]

hmm i'm on a 1.25 with 512mb ram. its fine for normal usage thats if you don't leave the programs running in the background. remember to cmd+Q any programs to exit it instead of clicking the red button on the top left cause that only closes the window and leaves the program running. example: in iTunes you click the close button but the song still plays.

It's true trust me.

Oh gosh! It is :( I went to an Apple center today and it was not really what I expected I was so happy and I saw it on display just sitting there running Mac OSX looks awesome everything was looking mad I had a huge smile on my face then I put my hand on the mouse and started moving it then I click on one of the menus up the top to drop it down and it lagged :| !!!! The menus even lag I couldnt beleive it, it was acting so un responsivly and lagily that I cant believe they are allowed to sell something like that, lucky i test before I bought one but I am sad now because i really wanted this and all the other Macs are too expensive I used a 20" iMac that was there for a while but then it crashed when I opened garageband so I held down that wierd power button on the back and turned it off then on it has an awesome light on the front of it too like just white the things looks soo cool when it was back and running it seemed very fast too bad this is way out of my price league :(

Didnt know how :unsure:

edit: I am going to go again today, because maybe I was dumb yesterday like one of those days where your brain is dumb and juicy, so I am going to retest this and reboot the mini this time.

Oh wow I take it all back, I went back there to that Apple center and was very very angry to see that all these people were crowed around the mini I went grabed a drink came back and they had all moved on to a PowerMac G5 i ignored that one I went down to the Mini and rebooted that it (I figured out wow have to press the Apple button then restart :p ) Anyway I did it and then it came up, very, very fast boot by the way then when it was loaded I saw that the only program open was some wierd one with a two faces symbol Finder it think they call it? Which is good as before all the applications in the bottom had a little arrow under them meaning they were all open? Anyway so now only this one was open and I had a play with the menus it was very quick and responsive :D I opened iTunes it did this quickly too and then I played around with the HDD icon like clicking on it etc. It is actaully really quite fast :o i was impressed, I am going to get one tommorow :D

I would say niether but thats not an option.... naturally, I am a mac hater... its in my blood or something man... I just find them to become, how would you put it? UNSTABLE?, UNRELIABLE?...? after a short amount of time. so go the dell my friend :)

i'm not trying to be rude or anything but do you have first hand experience with macs? i've had plenty ($3million mac computer lab, super computing with powermacs, video editing with g4 cubes, macs in every classroom, my personal mac mini) and to date i've encountered enough errors to count with my fingers (ok maybe slightly more but my mac mini has had none so far for a few months). whereas my pcs have been bugged with spyware and many errors that want to make you pull your hair out over the past 6 years. so i find it hard to believe macs are more unstable or unreliable than pcs. if you're talking about hardware its equally unreliable. but if you're talking about software there's not much of a chance
