The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What is the advantage of a 27" iMac over a MacMini with a 27" monitor (my set up)?


I don't know what your monitor is but except for some quite expensive monitors their resolution is less than what you get in the "old" iMacs. 5120x2880 A 5K Retina display with high pixel density. One of those things once you use you hate to go without but it was a huge bargain considering you got a computer with it.

I plan to keep our iMacs as long as they are functional. Mine I upgraded to 40GB a while ago when I was doing a lot of virtual machines. At some point software issues will get us (i.e., things not running on older OS) and I will reluctantly move on.
