I am hearing the Mac Mini might be discontinued (as of right now). Not sure

I suspect it depends how many pixels you're throwing around!
We create fairly straightforward educational 'games' for young kids,
and the Mac Mini (which is Intel these days, by the way) has been
perfectly adequate as a testbed for our software. What's more, if
you're actually authoring on the PC
with a wireless
keyboard to surf the net in the living room.

I agree with Ian, though I'd caution going to low-end for testing
because then you can get too focused on slowness issues that don't

If you want to be thorough and have extra money, then you can consider

but you might check with friends to test or to sell you a cheap old machine.
