Hi forum goers!
I'm getting a Mac soon, and I'm comparing 2 different models...
1) Mac mini 2.6ghz quad-core Intel Core i7 (upgrade on my own to 16gb RAM)
2) iMac 21.5" 3.1ghz quad-core Intel Core i7 (stock 8gb RAM)
Price is not a factor in this comparison
I know that the iMac has the dedicated graphics AND HD Graphics 4000, but the Mac mini would have double the RAM.
So, in this case, for light to moderate gaming, everyday browsing and schoolwork, would the mini be a better performer? (just wondering because of the RAM difference)
ALSO
Since the iMac has the HD Graphics 4000 AND the GTX 650m inside it too, does the system use both of those in tandem? Or just the 650m?
Thanks again!
