That's another big draw for me.
I see mentions of the new OS coming out this spring. If I bought a Mac Mini now, would I have to buy the OS, or does mac usually offer some sort of discount for "recent" purchases?
Thanks
Get more ram...it will make a much bigger difference than the difference in the processors....get as much ram as you can afford.
Apple has in the past offered free upgrades if you are with in a certian period and discounted upgrades after that...then full upgrades for everyone else
