iTech Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Right now I have a Dell Dimension 2400 (Old school - base model - nothing special). I was wanting to get with my first Mac operating computer, and thinking of going with the Mac Mini 2.26 GHz and 2GB RAM. Is it good for daily tasks (Youtube, uploading pics, surfing the web, etc.)? Or should I go with another Dell Desktop, (Probably an Inspiron with 4 GB RAM and Intel® Pentium® dual-core E5400 2.7GHz)for about the same price with a monitor? Does the mac mini play Youtube Vids in HD? Any complaints or likes from users?

chud Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 The emachine bundle Walmart has right now is actually a decent computer. With a couple inexpensive upgrades it can be a decent gaming rig. http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=ET1331G-05w Of course you could build a much better PC for the same price, but some people still don't know how to do stuff like that.

I finally replaced it because it was just too damn old to do anything with anymore. I still use it as a jukebox in my garage.

Thanks that definitely the answer I was hoping for. I've never owned or really operated a Mac (Because of price) so I definitely want to step into Mac territory now. Gaming is not a concern since I use a PS3 for that, Quote My Official Feedback Thread PSN - tech2332 Games for PS3: Killzone 2, BattleField: Bad Company 2! Add me to play either!

iTech Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Mac Mini on the way! Along with the Logitech DiNovo Wireless Keyboard (Mac Edition) and picking up a Magic Mouse tomorrow!

It's a little old an outdated but still runs fine. My dad's Dell desktop is from 1997, still running Windows 98SE and has absolutely nothing wrong with that either. But our HP desktop from 1999 that took a shit two years after we got it and it's still broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like Christmas. Cool, congrats! Once you get familiar with the mac, can you make a post of what OS you like more and why? I'm thinking about making the switch too Quote On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
