The components are the same as a cheap macbook. So the performance is very bad. The main drawback for graphics work is that the hard drive is incredibly slow. Apps like ps and gimp use alot of virtual memory and the mini will slow to a crawl when chewing on big files. Also the gpu is horrendous. It will choke on a big monitor. Another thing is that the mini overheats and starts to restart randomly because it is crammed into too small of a space. The mini is good for email and music only. Beware. You would be much happier with a cheap hp tower that you can max out with cheap ram and upgrade with a mid level PCIe card. Don't buy into the mac hype. The only time that they were better for art people was back in '96 when they were the only platform to support photoshop and illustrator. Now they don't support either natively and will hiccup and stutter when using rosetta. Believe me! I am a LONG time mac user who just switched to pc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19700250.post-43256629191948807752007-03-04T14:00:00.000+01:002007-03-04T14:00:00.000+01:00bey gott!willst du dir ganz wirklich ehrlich einen...bey gott!<BR/>willst du dir ganz wirklich ehrlich einen mac kaufen? böse böse böse!<BR/>dat würd isch mir ja noch een mal überleschen...<BR/>naja - ich hab mir ein mountainbike gekauft, und gestern sahen wir aus wie zwei schweine...es heisst jenny...<BR/><BR/>bis dann bro!August Schwimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261773568827290440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19700250.post-78326631045035140602007-03-03T17:00:00.000+01:002007-03-03T17:00:00.000+01:00i was a pc user till i switched to mac 2 years ago...i was a pc user till i switched to mac 2 years ago.

Or if all my files get LOST!(omg) I better start backing up..<BR/><BR/>Mac's are pretty little things arent they? I've never considered a Mac personally. Mostly cause i'm a hard person to fall into hype.. and i've never had problems with PC's. I also don't think i should switch to another brand because the icon's are prettier or such things.. If the computer works for what you need it to, that's the one i choose.<BR/><BR/>good luck this weekend. Looking forward to your posts next week!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>arielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
