We are looking at the possibility of buying a mac mini. I'm wondering if anyone uses one for scrapbooking? (I use PSE10.) The biggest concern for me is that I see that it doesn't come with a dedicated graphics card. Does this cause a problem for graphics editing etc in scrapbooking?
 
it has an HD graphics processor so your graphics will be fine. You might want to consider more RAM though only comes 2 or 4gb. I'd order from an outside vendor though you can find 4gb ram for about $50 bucks vs the 150 it sells for at Apple
 
We were looking at adding more ram and a solid state hard drive. Problem right now is that Apple has been updating the mac mini about once a year and if they follow that a new one should be coming out soon. My dh wants to wait and buy a new one, but there is no word how long I will have to wait for that and I'm getting impatient for a new computer. lol
 
I don't use a Mac Mini for scrapbooking but my DH has one and it runs WAY faster than my 4 year old MBP which I do use for scrapbooking. We did upgrade the RAM in it after we bought it but I don't see why it couldn't work for your needs if you did the same. :)
 
I use a Mac mini... I got mine in 2009, and it's still running beautifully. I scrap with it... I first used pse..Then went to cs4, cs5 ... But now I use cs6. I have mine connected to a 45" flat panel tv, which I use as my monitor. I added ram shortly after receiving the Mac, but I still only have 4. I also use to have only a 120gb hd but I recently changed it out to a 500gb but I only actually use about 75gb of it as all of my scrap supplies live on an ehd.

I loooooove my mini, and am so glad I have it.
