recommend a Mac Mini for me - mrbigstuff - 07-26-2007
this would be used for dj work at local events. I would pair it with a 17 or 19" monitor and a small keyboard. RAM is important but HD size is not, as I have an external FW 400 drive. I know that there were reports of problems with certain models (some time ago). Which to avoid and what is the best bargain currently? I can wait a few months if something were to be announced by the end of the year, too.

While waiting for some recommendations, you can look at this thread which folks are discussing near future predictions for Mini...

I've been toying with getting a mini but looking at value in terms of price in relation to specs and utility, I'm thinking that a MacBook is the way to go. Price difference is marginal, especially if you take refurbs into account.

I don't think there are problems with any of the current Intel minis.
But yes, a MacBook comes with a monitor and a small keyboard all hooked together.
The monitor would be smaller than 17" or 19" though.

refurb macbook and not have to carry a keyboard/mouse & monitor?
Re: recommend a Mac Mini for me - macnut - 07-26-2007
You can get a dongle to hook the MacBook to a larger monitor too, if that's what you need.
