Mac Mini vs iMac
Here's and interesting question someone asked me.
Deciding between the Mac Mini and the iMac.
If you have an iMac and the screen gets damaged or goes out for some reason, you're out of luck because you have to send the iMac out to get it fixed. Or, in the meantime you can hook up another monitor and continue using it until you get it fixed.
But if you have a Mac Mini and your monitor goes, you can just hook up another monitor and be on your way.
So, the question is, why should I get an iMac if that's the case?

The iMac has a better graphics card and a 3.5" 7200 rpm drive. If Apple allowed a BTO 7200 rpm and put in a good GPU, which they could easily do then there would be very little difference.
Could the new 45nm chip make a difference in Apple's decisions to utilize a better graphics card and a faster HDD in the Mini?
Or is that apples and oranges (no pun intended)?
