Hi everyone!
Early Sunday Morning I snagged myself a Late 2012 2.3 i7 mini and it arrives tommorrow! I already went shopping and purchased the apple wireless keyboard and magic pad. As an alternative keyboard I also purchased the Logitech K750 for mac which is a full sized keyboard that is wireless and solar powered.
I currently do not have a monitor for the mini and was looking around for options. At work I have dual Dell U2412Mb which is a great 24in monitor at 1920x1200. This monitor can be had for around 250/275$.
I have always wanted an Apple Cinema Display but those are out of my price range but was searching around ebay/craigslist and see the 24in LED ACD with iSight going for around 300$. These displays look great and would match the mini perfectly. There is a local one that I will be taking a look at today after work for slightly under 300$. It is my understanding I will need a dvi to Mini DP cable to be able to use 2 of these monitors correct?
(Monitor 1 = mini display port)(Monitor 2 = HDMI-->DVI-->Mini-Display port)
The last one that caught my attention was the Dell U2415 that looks really good and has the same if not more connections than the U2412Mb plus the addition of USB 3.0 and much thinner bessels. The down side is this one costs between 300-330$ each.
I am 75% set on getting that Apple monitor tonight if it looks great after doing some tests on it. If it looks as fantastic as on the pictures then i'll be 100% set on getting it
I also understand the ACD is atleast 5+ years old and that may possibly cause problems down the road.
Am I making the right choice or should I stick to the Dells?
Thanks for your time.
