Should i get a ipad mini or macbook air?
If you want some device for heavy purpose and multi-tasking like HD video editing, playing heavy games or something like that, then Macbook Air would do the better job. But if you want a device which can do most stuff you do on laptop like web surfing, watching movies, playing games, tv shows, reading books, research work, facebook, twitter, music then go for the iPad Mini as it would provide you all in low price. I suggest you read this review on iPad Mini from an actual user that I found to be helpful: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3G6Q56LNEM...
Should I buy a Mac Mini or a Macbook Pro?
I’ve had both. “Better” is relative.When I first re-Macified myself (I was a dedicated Mac user from about ’86 until ’96 when I was forced to Windows NT at gunpoint, and took a while to get back) I bought a late 2012 Mini with the four-core i7. I upgraded it to 16GB, and a 256GB SSD (I also kept the original 1TB spinner). From there the setup was pretty traditional - wired keyboard, mouse, two monitors.It was really nice - all the performance you could want, ran everything I wanted, was OK-ish for casual gaming.And I kept needing to carry work into meetings. Some on site, some off-site.Enter a late 2015 MPB 15 with GPU. Also 16GB, 512GB SSD. Initially I just cabled everything up and de-cabled when I needed to go mobile. That is a colossal pain in the ass, so I grabbed a vertical dock from Henge Docks (highly recommended BTW).That’s my current setup. I’ve got offices in two buildings, both nearly identically equipped (one has a 34″ ultra-wide instead of two monitors, which I’m actually liking better). And when I need to go mobile, I just grab and go. If I worked at home enough to warrant it, I’d do exactly the same thing there.The Mini is a great solution, and very cost effective. The quad-core i7 is a little harder for find, but totally worth it.If at all economically possible, I’d really recommend the MBP setup over the Mini, though, because it solves for one thing that you can’t really do with a Mini:Oh - PS. If you’re going MBP, don’t focus on the “upgradable” units. It’s a false meme. Get the newest more powerful unit you can.

Should I sell my MacBook Pro and get a Mac Mini and iPad?
If you are comfortable that the iPad can do what you need to do on the go (They are great, but they are not a true laptop replacement), you can get the same desktop power from the MacMini as you can get from the MacBook Pro, while the iPad is easier to carry.Having said that, I have all three because I would find the iPad to be a horrible compromise on the go for the things I do. For example, I will shoot 40 Gb of raw images, move them to my MacBook and begin editing in Nikon Capture NX2. When I get back home, I will move those images to the Mac Mini and keep working. The iPad has no place in this chain for me. But, for a lot of people for a lot of uses, the iPad is a perfectly acceptable mobile platform for everything they want and need to do. For them, this switch you are suggesting may make sense.
Is the new MacBook air fast?
I don't know very much about computers. I have an older Mac Mini that has a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, and 2 GB of memory. The new 11" 128GB MacBook air has a 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and 2 GB of memory. I have no idea what these numbers mean, but basically, is the new MacBook air faster than my Mac Mini? How much faster?
Which is better Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, or Mac Pro?
Ok, first of all, JuJu has no idea what she's talking about. So let's start over. First decide if you want portability or not. Then decide whether you want powerful or just a standard setup. If you want powerful and portable, the MacBook Pro is the perfect choice. If you don't care about portable, the iMac is the computer to get. iMac is also not a (TRUE) desktop, so it too will still have some power limitations. Short of Intense graphic rendering, and severe number crunching, the iMac will do anything you want it to. If your Goal is to just buy the Ultimate bad *** computer, to say you have the best of the best, then a Mac Pro is the way to go. This may drive you over your price limit though as a Mac Pro fully specced out from the beginning with a monitor will be around 5k. Mac mini i do not recommend, unless you just want small and simple, and already have a monitor keyboard and mouse. MOST IMPORTANT, The entire line of Mac's is getting ready to refresh in about 3 weeks, so the new iMac's and MacBook Pro's are going to be new!! So i would wait! Good Luck, and hope this helps some.
