I don't have a idfferent mac (yet) so can't say for sure. What I can say is that 2gb is not enough; if you do get the mini, which allows the user to upgrade the ram, I'd go for the cheapest option and then pick up 8gb of ram, which can be had for around $40, and pop it in in place of the default ram. I don't know if that would solve my problems, but I do know that switching to applications I haven't used in a while takes a long time as they load into ram from the hard drive, and that big apps like xCode or Garageband take forever to load. An ssd (solid-state drive) would definitely help too, but ram is the far cheaper upgrade option at this point. On Dec 3, 2012, at 9:26 AM, Eugenia Firth <[email protected]> wrote:
