Why don't just get with program and get a used Mac Mini? Cost less than

Because it's not portable like a pad...

You did mention running Adobe CC in Windows Virtual on a Linux
computer...


Yes indeed. But having given up on that as a bad idea, I'm looking to
the future "With a clean slate, what would be best for me..."

Why are you talking about running it in a Windows WM then?


That was the past. Gave that up as a bad job. My attempts to work with
that predated the recent web/mobile product launch.

Big time golfer, right? Three more years and van Trump might give you

New Forest and it's not a golf range. Golf: A good walk ruined... As
someone said.

I don't do "Mac vs. whatever" and I'm *not* dissing your Linux system
in any way. But if you're really into photography what you described
above is a crying need for a 27" iMac. The display is phenomenal.


I'm kinda waiting to see what Apple bring out next. It's either going to
be a MacBook Pro (which is recently re-released) or something else.

the imac pro is next, expected in a couple of months.

next year will likely have refreshes to the rest of the lineup, quite
possibly with a few surprises, although those who closely watch the
industry have a pretty good idea of what's coming.

I'd really like a Mac Mini v2 - something that is small, utilises the
same screen and keyboard as my other systems but has been refreshed to
have a decent CPU and loads of RAM.

the mac mini nearly 15 years old. it's well past v2.


Sorry - I meant v2 figuratively. I have no idea what version it is - I
meant "the next one".

Yep. I'm holding out with web/mobile to get my catalogue in order (never
have, it's a big job). When the time comes to do some serious
retouching, hopefully there will be all new choices from Apple.

Allegedly, that was supposed to be Mark Twain, but there are many Twainisms
which have proven to be apocryphal. There was the golf saying, and then there
was the, “The coldest Winter I have experienced, was a Summer in San
Francisco.

the next one might be very different. that could be good, irrelevant or
bad.

what do you want that isn't there now?

Nothing if I went for an iPad or MacBook Pro. OTOH, a Mini might be
good, if there's a decent refresh - so I'm holding out to see what
happens

that doesn't answer the question.

the current mini as well as the previous version are very compelling
products.

what do they not do that you want?
