Hello,
For a long time, I've only used laptops, and I haven't had a desktop in many years. I've been able to get by in my work with just MacBook's. I'd love to have an iMac, especially a Retina 5K, but it's just not in the cards for me right now ...
Anyways, I have an 11" MacBook Air and I've just recently experimented with using my TV as an external display. I like it, but it got me thinking. When I get my next Mac, maybe I could get a nice keyboard, trackpad, and external display and hook it up to a new Mac Mini. But I don't know much about it, to be honest. All I really know is it's the cheapest Mac, and it's "bring your own" as far as the display, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc.
But how is the performance in general? It'd be nice to have a desktop, since most of my work isn't done at an actual desk, I'm looking for a change in my work flow. For now I'll be using my MacBook Air, but I'd like to add to it eventually.
Just looking for some opinions from some experienced users here. Thanks in advance for any replies/help, I'm loving these forums.
