Colonel Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 the 20" iMacs are nice but i'd get the 17" if i were you. For myself, I'm getting a Mac Mini and eventually I'll upgrade the processor to a 2GHz core duo.

Swad Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 What are you going to be using it for? Will it be mostly stationary work or portable? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14198-suggestions/#findComment-92637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
non sequitur Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 if you are stationary, then i would reccomend the 17'' imac. the mac mini would be a good choice too, but the imac will last you a bit longer, give you the isight along with a monitor, keyboard and mouse, and let you play the occasional game or two in xp. however, if you are going mobile or if you just want to be able to bring your computer wherever you go, wait until the macbooks come out in the next month or so.

Swad Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Well, we'll know more once the MacBook comes out - I'd say wait and see how those units are, but if you're looking to play a lot of games I'd say go with the MacBook Pro.
