Thinking of buying a new Mac in the next half year (just to avoid them releasing new and shiny hardware a week after I buy something), and I'm stuck between an iMac and a Mac Mini. iMac was my first choice, but price is an issue and it seems judging by CPU I will get more power out of a Mac...

I have an iMac that's a few years old and has developed a problem reading or recognizing blank CDs and DVDs. This has been a problem for a while that I thought was due to a faulty DVD drive (the one that the iMac shipped with), so I worked around it (I have a Macbook Pro as well that burns...

So I'm speccing out some new workstations and am very interested in the SSD options out there. Apple charges $500 to switch from a 1 TB HDD to a 256 GB SDD, but only offers that option on the three top-end models; NOT the low end 2.5 GHz machine. I hit up Apple's website chat (which was...
