What do you guys think? I will end up using the Apple Credit Account so I can afford a new Mac. I'm very happy to finally be giving up the PC. I know the Mac will suit me much better as I have used them a lot just never owned one due to the price but now I'm biting the bullet on the price as my PC has pissed me off one too many times. 🙂

(Full) Heeellloooooooo to the Apple world! (I had an iPod since Christmas so it's a Full hello now, heh.)

Misguided individual. 🙁 🙄
 
i say imac ^^

The mini is cool, but unless your just outfitting it with an old or cheap monitor, i think it defeats the purpose of getting an economy class mac.

Either way, welcome to the community!
