My wife is wanting to replace her G4 933 and I am looking for advice for the most mac under $1,000
She uses it almost exclusively for Indesign CS2 and Illustrator work with a little light photoshop and the basic email stuff. She does not run video or play games or things of that nature.
I was looking at some of the refurb imacs at apple store which seem to fall in my price range. We would want superdrive and I guess will add ram to get it to at least a gig.
The refurb mac minis look interesting but I understand it is not easy to add ram to these machines. Is that right?
I've seen a few used G5 1.6 in that price range as well. Any advice on these machines? I suppose I should stick with the Intels since everything is headed that way.
