a mac mini is like 300 lauren
my imac was 850 quid, i got 100 pounds off cos i'm a student
and in the end:
1) i'm going to keep my imac for a good 3 or 4 years at least before I start thinking of upgrading
2) The speed of my imac is equivalent to the speed of a windoze computer which would be like 1000squid more!
