    Mini has more or less the same specs as macbook 13 does. Video ok for photoshop, but not for 3d stuff. Definitely needs ram. The bottleneck might be the slow laptop type 5400rpm drive, it would make sense to get a fullsize 7200 or 10000rpm one in an enclosure. This ups the price, of course, and a more expandable imac becomes an option.

    The new mini will most likely have new intel santa rosa chipset, including a new video chip. I would probably buy the cheapest used intel mini now and pimp it to the max processor it can handle when needed.
