Hmm... mostly InDesign, basic Photoshop work and occasional Illustrator with a sprinkling of Dreamweaver and rarely iMovie or Final Cut Express. I feel much more confident moving forward with the Mini -- thanks everyone!

You think the Mini has enough graphics power? I'm afraid of running into the lag I already deal with on my 2007 iMac.

I'm back! I'm finally ready to pull the trigger. There are some good deals on Apple's refurb store -- esp. the 2.3 i7 (1TB Fusion) Mac Mini at $900. I could find a quality 24" monitor for around $300, add some RAM and have a nice new Mac/monitor f…

Bergermeister... I noticed you do a little Adobe CS work with your Mini. Are you using CS6? Do you feel the graphics processor is capable enough? Thanks!

Thanks for the tip Marvin. HDMI brings up another question... I've seen varying points about using HDMI for display output. Thoughts on that vs. display port/thunderbolt?

Really appreciate the analysis! Is it safe to assume that CUDA isn't as crucial in Adobe apps like InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator? Has integrated graphics of the Mac Mini been much of a problem for "standard" usage? I tend to han…

True, but if they drop the optical drive in favor of an SSD, the price decrease won't likely happen. (At least that's what I'm hoping they're planning)
-
I guess I should have stated that I'd be willing to sacrifice the optical drive in order to make space for an SSD. But you're probably right when it comes to the almighty $. Apple may not want to "give away" the SSD when they can sell it as …

Does this delay have any bearing on the pending iMac release?
