Based on what we know of the new Mac minis, is there a sweet spot to order? It seems like maybe the $699 model?

I ask because my dad's old PowerMac G5 has finally gone kaput and he needs a new machine to do mainly Photoshop and Illustrator work on. Even the $499 Mac mini is probably faster than what he has, but I'd like to get him something nice that'll last a while.

Probably? Seriously? That mini is 10000x faster.

Yeah, bad word choice on the "probably." His G5 is dog-slow.

But seriously, though: is the $699 model with no upgrades the way to go if you're considering a Mac mini?
