Getting my first Mac this weekend. I already have a nice new monitor that takes either VGA or DV-I. I know I can connect the mini by way of an adaptor with either the Thunderbolt or HDMI port. But not knowing much about Thunderbolt I don't k ow what is the better option. Thoughts?
Got a tip for us?

New to Mac. Thunderbolt to DV-I or HDMI to DV-I?

Since you're hooking up a monitor, use the HDMI because it is only intended for video. That will leave your Thunderbolt open for possible future expansion.
