I am sure this has been asked by many people before and sorry to annoy with my questions, but I am just looking for some honest opinions.
I am looking to purchase a Mac for my next computer, I have been reading that Mac will probably be announcing the new iMacs and also killing the Mac Mini.
I would like to purchase a mac but for one, in this current state, I am not sure weather to go with a mini or an iMac. I like that the iMac is a all in one computer, monitor and all. But the price point for a Mini seems rather nice also, considering I could pick up the Mini and a 22" for close to a grand round about. So at this current state, I don't know which would suit me just fine. I do web browsing, listening to music, some web design, quite a bit of Music recording with my guitars and drums, word processing and spreadsheets, photos of course. Not a real gamer at least on the computer, so would a mini suit me just fine? I like that the iMac has the camera built in, thats really nice, I could see myself recording things with it (especially when I am coming up with lyrics and forget to write em down).
So then the flip side is do I wait till after WWDC? If I do, how long do you think it will take to start selling the new iMac, under the assumption mini's are gone. Also, do you think the price point will be higher than current iMacs? Will older iMacs go down? Mini prices go down?
Sorry if it seems like alot of questions, but just looking for some advice from people who are mac users and those who follow apple much more than I do.
Thanks a bunch
