What to do..

Yeah, thats part of the reason for it too :).

Any other Mac's worth looking at apart the Mac Mini?

For the budget (£600), then I'd have to say Mac Mini and MacBook are probably the best bet.

iMac is expensive (although brilliant), and the eMac has long since been retired!

Not overly bothered if its a little older, as its partly to get used to Mac.

But i think by the looks of things its best to get the Mac Mini.

Am i right in thinking, Combo Drive = DVD ROM and just a CD RW?

If its say £375ish for the Mac Mini, will need RAM on top of that (although is it needed straight away?) and a wireless keyboard/mouse (£50?).

I started on a G3 350, but wanted more oomph.

Excellent choice, I am considering one myself.

Don't need the RAM straight away. Up to you when you'll need the wireless mouse and keyboard obviously.
 
Just think the wireless keyboard and mouse would be easier and neater really, and the RAM im not too sure about, i guess if i need more i can get it later, how does it run on 1GB?

It all depends how much it'll end up costing whether i order via Education on Apple, or through my mates store discount.

Yeah, 1GB will be alright. Just if you feel limited with it, up it to 2GB.

Yeah i was thinking that, i take it that it has 2 slots for RAM?

I like the Mac section, replies all the time :cool:.

Is it worth paying extra for the AppleCare Protection Plan (£107), i dont normally for stuff. Also, iWork worth getting?

He asked me to send him an e-mail from my university e-mail accout, but that wouldn't be hard to cover. Or make up a story.
 
Had a play with the iMac's, Mac Mini's and Macbook/Pro's today, liked them all haha.

Saw a Macbook for £650, Mac Mini for £400.

Do i take the plunge for a third laptop, or get the more helpful Mac Mini, cant decide :(.

If i was to get the Macbook, my current laptop would become a more family desktop laptop.

The Mac Mini's are so nifty though :p.
 
Sell all the laptops and get a Macbook Pro and when your home just plug the MBP into your monitor. You can then also have a XP/Vista with bootcamp.
 
I bought a mac mini on ebay this morning.

should go nicely with the imac, iphone and 20inch screen I also bought this week.

stoked.

Was thinking of this, but im not sure whether i can justify doing this, i will deifnitely keep the Eee, and the HP will be replaced at some point, so im leaning again towards the Mac Mini, once used to OS X etc, replace the HP laptop, i think it seems the most beneficial for me at the minute.

Will see what other upgrades are due in the next models too.
