    thnks for the insight. Yes I know about refurbs, Im rocking the black macbook from a few years back, I maxed out the ram, upgraded the harddrive to a 500gb wd drive, I even did a clean re-install to see if I could get better performance, but with a browser, a IM client(required for the gig) and PS/CS5, it drags too much for me, now I dj, and it works fine for serato so I really dont want another laptop and quite frankly I hate 17inch MCP and That still isnt the screen size I need. also I am working with them to get me a screen, so that may be covered. and the price is fine 1k for the mac mini and 200 for a 24 inch lcd screen is 1200 and the 13 MBP is 1289 on the refurb site and I think the processor on the mac mini is slightly higher. Im just concerned about it overheating or the drives not performing as well as a 7200 rpm drive.
