I'm a mac newbie, and I'm considering buying a refurbished mac mini for my kid. Most of what he will want to do on it will be web browsing, word processing, and iMovie. I'll probably want to stuck my music collection on it, since it will be in the family room.
How much memory will I need? Can I get away with 512 MB, or do I need to go up to 1 GB for reasonable performance?
8 GB just does not cut it for me. I'd like to see it come with atleast 30 GB and if possible also an expandable memory slot. IPODs are available upto 60 GB so I dont understand why they did not have that as the starting point.
