im interested in gettin a mac
Trouble is the mac book seems cool as it's portable etc
But mac mini I can get a higher spec for less cost
Mini mac i7 quad core around £700
Mac book i5 dual core £1000
Each would get a 16g ram up grade and the con
On the mini is no optical drive no screen
Is anyone using the mini with logic?
Is performance good ?

I love having a MacBook since it's basically both my desktop (when docked) and portable to take with me anywhere.

i know those screens look amazing, but i cant justify the cash !k3ith wrote:MacBook Pro Retina, it's the only way!
quad core i7 mac book is over £1900
quad core i7 mini mac £700 !!
i have a screen and ext hd, i like the idea of having a mac book but price just kills it
