I am in university and I am looking into learning max OSX operating system as we are learning linux windows ect in depth and feel having knowledge of max osx would help in later life. I was looking at getting a MAC mini maybe? Anyone know any cheap or decent ways of doing this? Bare in mind I am open to open box but can never seem to get it to work. And would like a proper machine for it like I did with linux.

Thanks guys.
 
Lol sorry I did post this early in the night! ;)


I was told a mac mini would be a good idea but they are a little bad. I had an IOS device Iphone 4 and a Ipod touch 5th gen with IOS and I learnt as time got on they got worse in terms of performance. Is this the same case as with MAC OSX? Was looking at a new mac mini really hook it up to a screen and be good to go!
 
the student discount you'll get is better than anything else you'll find in a store - it's around 10% i think. you'll also find when you sell it again, it will hold it's value something crazy as long as it's not damaged. i know, i've been looking for a second hand 2010 or more recent one!

You could even consider a macbook air - that will replace a tablet AND give you something to learn on? kinda dual purpose

I have been looking into using the student discount while I am a student. I have so many machines getting a little out of hand. I was looking at a basic pro with 8Gb i5 ect decent enough tho anyone know if I can dual boot with ubuntu?
 
I have the basic macbook pro - it's really good :)

Dual booting should not be an issue, but i've not tried it with ubuntu specifically. With something like Parallels you can choose whether you want to restart into your secondary OS, OR launch it as a VM under Mac OS. Really handy when you have limited SSD space (128GB runs out fast...)
