Is the mac mini quick enough to use programes such as the new intel photoshop cs3 with out much lag. need to get a new computer

Yeah, don't see why not. If you can though I'd wait until WWDC 'cause most Apple hardware is due an update, and I would assume when they launch Leopard then, there will be new hardware...

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.

isn't wwf june 11, when the iphone comes out? i would go ahead and buy a mini. get ram though. 2gb is good, you can get by with 1gb if you do things one at a time.
