New to Mac and new to iphone

Quote:

I am starting an iphone course, and looking for advise of what computer to buy. during the course I will be able to use a mini but only on premesis. What should I buy to use at home? A mini Mac that could be used maybe as a portable computer, or an imac or maybe a laptop which is more expencive, Taking into account I will be bying a second hand computer as to save on money. What are the major diferences between the computers

Any Mac will handle the basics- surfing, watching movies, email, running most programs.

If using it for a demanding application like photo manipulation, a basic Mac book will work for that too. I don't know much about them, but I would not choose a mini for anything other than the basics mentioned above. For something like that, more RAM is better.

Doing anything with high video demands, a good video card might help. Go to Apple's page and read through specs and what they say each model can handle. Most likely, it would be a higher end iMac or a MacBookPro.

For home use, it would be an iMac, a MacBook Pro (mobility) or a Mac Book (for mobility). You'd have to investigate which model best handles your needs. Again, if it is the basics, a Mini could be considered.
